I am trying to publish my releases with semantic-release. Everything has worked well but the tool so far only generated tags rather than an actual GitHub Release.
My .releaserc
{
"branches": "main",
"plugins": [
[
"@semantic-release/npm",
{
"npmPublish": false
}
],
[
"@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
{
"releaseRules": [
{
"message": "CHANGE-*",
"release": "patch"
}
]
}
],
"@semantic-release/release-notes-generator"
]
}
and my release.yaml
name: Create Release
on:
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Setup Node.js environment
uses: actions/setup-node@v2.5.1
- name: Env-Variables
run: |
echo "AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID_NONPROD }}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
echo "AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_NONPROD }}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
echo "GH_TOKEN=${{ secrets.SERVICE_TEAM_USER_TOKEN }}" >> $GITHUB_ENV
export GH_TOKEN=${{ secrets.SERVICE_TEAM_USER_TOKEN }}
- name: NPM Install
run: |
npm i
npm i -g semantic-release
- name: Create Release
run: |
semantic-release
How do I let semantic-release generate a github release instead of a tag?
As jonrsharpe pointed out, implementing the plugin semantic-release/github fixed my problem and tags and releases are now created automatically.
