This addon seems to be unmaintained - alternative: ember-cli-release-tag

mydea commented 5 years ago

Since this addon seems to be unmaintained, and dependencies are woefully out of date, I made a forked, modernized version of this, ember-cli-release-tag.

Since there have been no responses to any issues and PRs for months (or years), and we do use that functionality somewhat often, I decided to make a mostly drop-in replacement with a more modern codebase and dependencies.

For now, this new addon is a bit streamlined and I have removed some options:

The date strategy does not accept any additional arguments anymore - it is always v19.01.16. Feel free to provide your own custom strategy if needed.
NPM publishing is not included right now
For semver, premajor and preminor have been dropped. Instead, always use prerelease, which you can combine with major (--> pre-major) or minor (--> pre-minor), e.g. ember release --major --prerelease='beta'
You have to confirm before the release commit is created (see #67)

See #71 , #72, #69

For most common use cases, it should be enough to do

yarn remove ember-cli-release
yarn add ember-cli-release-tag

And continue as before.

FWIW, I personally use release-it (along with lerna-changelog) these days. I made a handy dandy boostrapping package to make it easier to get started (npm init rwjblue-release-it-setup in any package):

@mydea would you be interested in helping merge that functionality in here, rather than forking? I'm happy to add you as a maintainer.

@rwwagner90 FWIW there is also adopted-ember-addons (more info) if you find that you don't have time to maintain the addon but want it to continue living on for those using it.

I could try to add my changes here, but it is basically a complete re-write which tries to keep a similar (but not 100% matching) API surface.

Overall, I wonder if it is worth it, vs. just recommending to use release-it as @rwjblue recommended - which is a non-Ember specific solution to this problem, which actually also offers even more functionality. Maybe we should push the community to use that instead...?

Just started to use release-it the first time. It has a ton of features I missed on ember-cli-release. I think it's time to drop another ember-specific solution in favor of the established tool in the non-ember world.

I could be in favor of suggesting release-it. Never used it before myself, but if @rwjblue likes it, it must be okay 😃

release-it is fantastic, this RB is a great template for how to quickly and easily add it to any project:
