Unable to get the correct version detected

[mortenn]

Hi, I'm trying to set up this action in my new pipeline, but it keeps detecting the wrong version.
I am at a loss what is going wrong here, please help <3

Set output debug_output = {
  "commands": [
    {"command":"git","args":["rev-parse","--abbrev-ref","HEAD"],"output":"main\n","stderr":"","error":null},
    {"command":"git","args":["rev-list","-n1","--all"],"output":"87b65cea6053cea017aec6ca4f0d8e2379a6e2ad\n","stderr":"","error":null},
    {"command":"git","args":["rev-parse","HEAD"],"output":"87b65cea6053cea017aec6ca4f0d8e2379a6e2ad\n","stderr":"","error":null},
    {"command":"git tag --points-at 87b65cea6053cea017aec6ca4f0d8e2379a6e2ad v*[0-9].*[0-9].*[0-9]","args":[],"output":"","stderr":"","error":null},

    {"command":"git log --pretty

As we can see, it finds the v2.0.0-beta4 tag, but ignores that.

I also tried doing a commit to main with "(MAJOR)" in the message, but it still showed up as 1.8.3:

Version is 1.8.3-beta54

I can probably work around this by adding a v2.0.0 tag I guess, but I haven't released it yet, so I don't really want to do that unless there is absolutely no way around the problem.

The change path basically adds a -- ${CHANGE_PATH} to all git commands is intended for fully independently versioning a sub project when you have multiple projects present and is typically used along with a namespace param. With this enabled, only commits on that path are considered. You have a commit with (MAJOR) which changes the readme, but this file isn't in the change path which is given as /src so it won't be considered.

If you haven't seen this already, you might want to have a look at the guide for details on common configurations.

excellent, thanks, now I get something more like expected;
##[debug]Set output version = 2.0.0-beta3

I did want beta4, but that'll come once I make another commit I guess.

now, I am building dotnet here, which means I would like version_prefix=2.0.0 and version_suffix=beta3, but it seems I would need to either parse the version string or put together major, minor and patch with "beta" and increment myself. Am I missing something?
