Automatic Releases, Automatic Semver?

[gschechter]

Hi.

I am trying to automatically determine my semver tag on push to main instead of having to supply it. Unfortunately when doing this the change log is only using the latest commit, since I can't specify the previous tag for it to look back at.

Any suggestions?

name: my_workflow
on: [push]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'
    needs: [php8_test, php74_tests]
    steps:
      - name: checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          ref: ${{ github.head_ref }}
          fetch-depth: 0
      - name: Read Version Number
        id: versioning
        uses: paulhatch/[email protected]
        with:
          tag_prefix: "v"
          major_pattern: "(MAJOR)"
          minor_pattern: "(MINOR)"
          format: "${major}.${minor}.${patch}"
          search_commit_body: false
          user_format_type: "csv"
      - uses: rickstaa/action-create-tag@v1
        with:
          tag: v${{ steps.versioning.outputs.version }}
          message: v${{ steps.versioning.outputs.version }}

          popd
      - uses: marvinpinto/action-automatic-releases@latest
        with:
          repo_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

          prerelease: false
          title: Release ${{ steps.versioning.outputs.version }}
          files: |
            my_project.${{ steps.versioning.outputs.version }}.zip
          id: automatic_release```

you shouldn't use automatic_release_tag option if you are manually creating it, right?

Try this. Just merge from branches matching the naming scheme.
