Thanks for the PR.

This is a good start, but it looks like a brute force fix for our problem.

It looks like bleeding edge just uses the latest version of any dependency.

Do we know which dependency is causing our issue.

While "bleeding-edge" might fix the current issue... I think that in the future we might end up with other transient error.

Also, I think that it's important to include the pre-commit update as part of our CI, to make sure we will not regress on this. That is, include the changes from #572 to check that this fixes the issue :)

pre-commit autoupdate follows these git commands: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit/blob/main/pre_commit/commands/autoupdate.py#L42-L61

To demonstrate so, I ran such commands:

git clone https://github.com/twisted/towncrier.git
cd towncrier
git checkout --track origin/571-pre-commit-hooks
git fetch origin HEAD --tags
git describe FETCH_HEAD --tags --abbrev=0

Then I got: 22.8.0

When I go to towncrier 22.8.0 version, there is no .pre-commit-hooks.yaml there.

[sadikkuzu]

On the other hand, 23.10.0 version has such warning message:

[sadikkuzu]

@adiroiban hi, Can you approve remaining workflow runs?

[adiroiban]

When I go to towncrier 22.8.0 version, there is no .pre-commit-hooks.yaml there.

Ok 28.8.0 is an older version.

But https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/tree/23.11.0 has that file.

---

23.10.0 version has such warning message:

We remove the branch that is used to do the release... so that we don't have too many branches in the auto-complete list

This is why you have that warning. It should not matter.

[adiroiban]

Can you approve remaining workflow runs?

I have approved the CI.

I only now saw that this PR is targeting the ohter 571 branch... sorry, I was not expecting this... and I was just doing all kind of experiments on my branch.

[sadikkuzu]

It seems ok now:

[adiroiban]

Many thanks for the help here.

I think I got this.

So the issue is with git describe that things that 28.8.0 is our latest version

$ git describe trunk --tags
22.8.0-230-g7221d5d

We release towncrier from a branch/tag and not from trunk

We then squash the branch...and the tag commit is lost.

I think that the fix here, is to do a new towncrier release, in which we make sure we don't use a squash merge.

Moreover, this pre-commit step is not necessary:

Remaining next steps alone do right actions: https://github.com/twisted/towncrier/blob/571-pre-commit-hooks/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L219-L225 👍🏼

[adiroiban]

Thanks for your help and feedback.

You help was critical in finding the source of this bug.

I don't think that we should merge this PR and use bleeding edge.

Instead, we should fix the release process to add a note that release PR should not be squashed...and then do a new release without a squash.

My pleasure 🙏🏼 ✨

Yes, we may close this PR. New release process will fix the issue. 👍🏼

For this I will propose a new pull-request later on.

The idea of the CI jobs was to do a full pre-commit cycle, similar to how it is used by developers, not only the auto-update step that is needed for this bug.

Then it should be pre-commit install, not pre-commit only.

Bleeding edge isn't the solution here.
