0.5.0 broke things for me

[michaelaye]

My changelogs are currently empty using 0.5.0, while they were fine with 0.4.x. No error messages either.

Hi. Thank you for your report. Can you share more information?

• Link or git log output of your repository (including tags)
• Autochangelog command you used

It is the same repo as in the #54 issue that had a problem with tag prefix, but at least then it was producing some output. Now it's just

➜ auto-changelog --stdout
# Changelog


➜ auto-changelog --stdout --tag-prefix 'v'
# Changelog


➜ auto-changelog --stdout --tag-pattern '.*'
# Changelog

Would be good to have some debugging options.

I agree. Some work already merged. Kudos to @stdtom.

I have the same problem as @pranasziaukas, 0.4.0 is still working, but not 0.5.x, the same output :'(

Better late than never.

I checked @pranasziaukas repository. Auto-changelog first builds an index of release tags and indexes them by the commit. Then iterates over commits in the current branch (if not set otherwise) and tries to match commits to the index. If we have a match, we consider all commits below as part of the release until the next hit.

Another vital thing to remember is that annotated tags are created as new commits.

So in the @pranasziaukas case, annotated tags were never merged back to the master, this is visible in the git graph. Auto-changelog scans all commits but never hits an index and because --unreleased was not used, all commits are skipped. This behaviour is not new, I tested the repo first with v0.4 and had the same output.

I tried to checkout to tag (v0.3.1) and the output seems fine. I also tried to use --unreleased and everything looks fine to me.
