| description | Fix bugs in the forked release-please ecosystem (vm0-ai/release-please + vm0-ai/release-please-action) |
| context | fork |
Fix a bug in the project's forked release-please core library, then rebuild the GitHub Action.
Background
| Repo | Fork of | Branch | Role |
|---|
vm0-ai/release-please | googleapis/release-please | vm0 | Core library (TypeScript/Node) |
vm0-ai/release-please-action | googleapis/release-please-action | vm0 | GitHub Action wrapping the core library |
.github/workflows/release-please.yml uses vm0-ai/release-please-action@vm0- The action's
package.json has "release-please": "github:vm0-ai/release-please#vm0"
- Bugs are almost always in the core library, not the action
Args
Your args are: $ARGUMENTS
Parse the args to understand what bug to fix. If no args provided, ask the user what the issue is.
Workflow
Step 1: Clone both repos
cd /tmp && rm -rf release-please release-please-action
git clone https://github.com/vm0-ai/release-please.git
git clone https://github.com/vm0-ai/release-please-action.git
cd /tmp/release-please && git config user.email "noreply@vm0.ai" && git config user.name "vm0-ai"
cd /tmp/release-please-action && git config user.email "noreply@vm0.ai" && git config user.name "vm0-ai"
Step 2: Fix in release-please core
Create a fix branch from main, make the fix, then cherry-pick to vm0:
cd /tmp/release-please
git checkout main
git checkout -b fix/<description>
git push origin fix/<description>
git checkout vm0
git cherry-pick <commit-sha>
git push origin vm0
Step 3: Rebuild release-please-action
This step is always required after any core library change:
cd /tmp/release-please-action
git checkout vm0
npm install
npm run build
git add package-lock.json dist/index.js
git commit -m "fix: <same description as the core fix>"
git push origin vm0
Step 4: Verify
cd /tmp/release-please && git log --oneline vm0 -5
cd /tmp/release-please-action && git log --oneline vm0 -5
Report what was changed.
Syncing upstream
If the user asks to sync with upstream:
cd /tmp/release-please
git remote add upstream https://github.com/googleapis/release-please.git
git fetch upstream
git checkout vm0
git rebase upstream/main
git push origin vm0 --force-with-lease
Then rebuild the action (Step 3).
