QUESTION: Proper way to configure a node project in subdirectory

Open billchurch opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

This is working pretty great in my testing so far, however I think i'm missing the connection to get this to work exactly as I would like it (meaning, I think it can work the way I want it to but I think I'm doing it wrong). This probably has more to do with how I have my node project setup, and less about release-please-action.

I have a repo webssh2

  • It contains a single nodejs package/project which lives in /app
  • I'd like to have release-please take over changelog and release generation (it technically works)
  • Would like everything to run via github actions (it sort of works)
  • would like the tags create to be just the version number (no v prefix, no application name prefix
  • would like to publish to npm when released (for some reason I don't seem to be ever returning steps.release.outputs.releases_created but I've been experimenting with pre-releases so maybe that's it?

Ideally i'd just maintain this from github actions, but I need to bootstrap it first, so I went with the manifest method.

Manifest files located at:

My current github workflow/action is: release.yml.

I don't see a way through the manifest or through github actions to enable to the include-v-in-tags cli option. I tried just adding it to the release-please-config as well as a github action but I see no option.

Finally I've hit my API rate due to my testing so I'm going to give it a break for a bit.

Appreciate any input here, this is a great looking project and hope to get my installation cleaned up so I can use it.

I have the same problems setting up a single npm project that is released from a subfolder. For Angular projects, this is pretty much standard behaviour, as library projects are located in a projects folder.

Here's a mono-repo that has been setup as described:

https://github.com/istanbuljs/istanbuljs/blob/master/.github/workflows/release-please.yml

I use a paths_released output, which it looks like we've failed to document.

@billchurch @fynnfeldpausch does this work for your use-case, if so I can document in the README.
