Manifest release fails with Error: release-please failed: Not Found

[wearethefoos]

TL;DR

Two releases, one Elixir release from the root path (.) and another Node release from the assets/ path fails with a not found error on the assets path.

One release, just the Elixir in the root path fails with Error: release-please failed: Not Found

Expected behavior

I would expect the release action to not error and create releases for my root project and the assets project.

Observed behavior

Instead, it fails with Error: release-please failed: Not Found

I tried with different paths: assets and assets/ for the node release and with . for the Elixir release in the root folder. Nothing seems to work with the manifest command. I am pushing directly to the main branch to test this out, which is also the default branch for this repo.

I dug around a bit more and found that the problem is that you can't mix packages and a root project (.) in a manifest. Not sure if that's something you want to support, so feel free to close this.

This should be supported, I do so myself here.

Bother you to open a ticket on the main release-please, if possible with a minimal reproduction.

This error also occur when I add new entry to release-please-config.json
