Vox Pupuli Release Gem

License Release Test RubyGem Version RubyGem Downloads

This is a helper Gem for the Vox Pupuli release workflow. This Gem currently serves only to encapsulate common rake tasks related to releasing modules.

Usage

Add the voxpupuli-release Gem to your Gemfile:

gem 'voxpupuli-release', git: 'https://github.com/voxpupuli/voxpupuli-release-gem'

Then, at the top of your Rakefile, add:

require 'voxpupuli-release'

To cut a new release of your module, ensure the metadata.json reflects the expected new version of the module, that no tag exists with that version number (format v#.#.#), and then update the module CHANGELOG.md and REFERENCE.md by running:

bundle exec rake release:prepare

Commit these changes (likely in a new branch, open a Pull-Request and wait for it to be reviewed and merged). When ready to ship the new release, ensure you are on the main branch, it is up-to-date, and run:

bundle exec rake release

This will perform some sanity checks, tag the current commit with the version number, and bump the version number to ensure no conflict will happen by mistake.

Release information

To make a new release, please do:

  • update the version in lib/voxpupuli/release/version.rb

  • generate the changelog with bundle exec rake changelog
  • Check if the new version matches the closed issues/PRs in the changelog
