Time to upgrade semantic release?

[dafyddj]

Hi, is it time to upgrade the semantic-release package to the latest upstream version?

I had a problem recently with using an ESM packaged preset conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits

Thank you

[codfish]

can you elaborate on what you were trying to do and what error you saw?

          additional-packages: conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits

and a separate config file setting preset: conventionalcommits

Workaround is to pin to an older version of conventionalcommits

No error seen when testing locally with the latest semantic-release version.

[dafyddj]

Any thoughts on this?

[codfish]

@dafyddj yea, definitely time for an upgrade. I will work on it.

No error seen when testing locally with the latest semantic-release version.

Do me a favor, can you test locally using semantic-release v22 and node 20? Let me know if you get the same error

[dafyddj]

Hi, I've tried various versions back to node v20.12.1 and semantic-release v22.05 but I can't actually reproduce the error when testing locally 🤷🏻

I have the same issues.
Downgrading conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits to v7 solved the issue, as a workaround.

Please fix/upgrade the package to support conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits v8
