Hello,

I'm trying to get this plugin working, however I'm always running into the error

What I tried so far was the .releaserc.json and package.json config types with both having the same results:

[10:30:43 AM] [semantic-release] › ✖  EPLUGINCONF The `analyzeCommits` plugin configuration is invalid.
The analyzeCommits plugin configuration (https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/blob/master/docs/usage/plugins.md#analyzecommits-plugin) is required and  must be a single or an array of plugins definition. A plugin definition is an npm module name, optionally wrapped in an array with an object.

Your configuration for the analyzeCommits plugin is ``.

This is my configuration

    "@semantic-release/changelog": "^6.0.1",

},
"release": {
    "preset": "conventionalcommits",
    "plugins": [

      [

        {
          "publishCmd": "nx run affected --target=release --args=\"--version=${nextRelease.version}\""
        }
      ]
    ]
  },

What am I missing?

I had the same issue. I was testing the setup, and the usage seemed to suggest that various stages/plugins could be executed, so I tried:

semantic-release --analyze-commits

And it failed with the same error as you mentioned. I had to debug to discover that there's supposed to be a second argument, which is a string. I found I had to use the analyzer plugin to make it work:

semantic-release --analyze-commits "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer"

I guess that these override the .releaserc.json configuration options. I was trying to do a dry-run of the local commits to see if it would bump as expected (I still haven't figured that out). Maybe that'll help you find the issue.
