feat: Commit parser w/ path filter for monorepos #614
Description
Description
Adding the use_only_cwd_commits config makes it possible to make the semantic release look for commits in the cwd folder only.
The default behavior is any commit in the repo can trigger a package release.
_repo: Optional[Repo]
_sub_directory = ""
try:
_repo = Repo(".", search_parent_directories=True)
if config.get("use_only_cwd_commits") and config.get("version_source") == "commit":
_sub_directory = os.path.relpath(os.getcwd(), _repo.working_dir)
except InvalidGitRepositoryError:
_repo = Noneit will be good to have a config option to define one or more folders in the repo to semantic release CLI look for commits.
Use cases
Monorepo: When you have multiple packages in the same repo, you can use use_only_cwd_commits to force the semantic release to look for commits only in the package folder.
However, when you have local dependencies that could potentially trigger the release of the application, it is required to look at multiple folders to decide if a release is necessary.
Issue reference: lucasvieirasilva/nx-plugins#122
Example:
- apps/app1/pyproject.toml
- libs/lib1/pyproject.toml
In this example, app1 references lib1 as a local dependency using the Poetry path reference https://python-poetry.org/docs/dependency-specification/#path-dependencies
...
[tool.poetry]
name = "app1"
...
[tool.poetry.dependencies.lib1]
path = "../../libs/lib1"
develop = true
...If something changes in the lib1 it should trigger the app1 release, however, the commit path is only in the libs/lib1 folder, not in the apps/app1 folder.
In this case, the use_only_cwd_commits config isn't gonna work.
If we have the option to specify multiple paths for the commit analyzer, I could explicitly reference libs/lib1 in the apps/app1/pyproject.toml semantic release config.
Possible implementation
- a new config entry
commit_pathsthat accepts a list of paths.
[tool.semantic_release]
version_variable = [
"pyproject.toml:version"
]
branch = "main"
upload_to_pypi = false
upload_to_release = false
commit_paths = [
"apps/app1",
"libs/lib1"
]
