Increase prerelease without prerelease identifier #1366

Closed bheemvennapureddy closed 10 months ago

bheemvennapureddy commented 11 months ago

Our use case is

Draft a prerelease with regular semantic versions v1.1.0 ( release candidate )
Run test either via automation or manual if this pass go to prod update prerelease to latest
If tests fail create a new release candidate which should be an increment from prevoious pre release which is not the case with prerelease identifier set to empty

Issue duplicate draft tags with prerelease.

Is there a way we can increment prerelease without any identifier ?

Your workflow would include promotion of the v1.1.0 to release from pre-release? Or do you intend to force push the v1.1.0 tag with fixes? How about changing your pre-release to include a pre-release identifier? Release drafter is behaving as intended. It will ignore pre-releases to create a full draft for a given release.

In any case please check the readme as it might have the config options you are looking for ☺️

Our intention is to promote v1.1.0 to latest ( prod release ) from prerelease but there were road blocks on the way with either infra or testing , so we want a new draft which is a increment from the previous draft has all the changes along with a fix.

So the next prerelease draft should be v1.1.1 than being a duplicate of v1.1.0

Apart from including a prerelease identifier i don't see a way to work around this.

https://github.com/release-drafter/release-drafter#configuration-options did you check out ? Perhaps include-pre-releases is what you are looking for?

bheemvennapureddy commented 11 months ago

@jetersen makes sense that sounds about right - if i do so the change log is not pulling up all the log from previous pre-release which kind of makes sense

bheemvennapureddy commented 10 months ago

@jetersen Quick question so the minor version will not be incremented even if we have include-pre-releases and prerelease set to true

Sorry there was a typo.
