fix(ci): pin release-please-action to v4, releases are broken on v5 - #20
Merged
Conversation
v5.0.0 reads the configuration and computes the release correctly, then fails creating it: ✔ Creating 1 releases for pull #17 release-please failed: Resource not accessible by integration Reproduced on both client repositories with `contents: write` on the job, which is the permission that endpoint documents. Reverted rather than debugged, because the effect is that no release can be created at all. Worth recording why this got in: ordinary CI does not exercise release.yml, so a green pull request says nothing about whether releasing still works. The Actions ecosystem now carries an ignore for this action's majors until v5 is understood.
