sed -i 's/^version = ./version = "0.12.0"/' pyproject.toml
Root cause: 0.12.0 accumulated 202 unreleased commits because the release path was fully manual — CONTRIBUTING step 6 (twine upload dist/*) was a human step with no CI enforcement, so nothing forced a cut at each version bump.
Fix (3 parts):
1. Tag-triggered release pipeline — .github/workflows/release.yml
name: release
on:
push:
tags: ["v*"]
permissions:
contents: write
jobs:
publish:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
fetch-depth: 0 # full history so setuptools_scm tags resolve
- uses: actions/setup-python@v5
with:
python-version: "3.11"
cache: pip
- name: Install build tooling
run: python -m pip install --upgrade build twine
- name: Build sdist + wheel
run: python -m build
- name: Publish to PyPI
env:
TWINE_USERNAME: __token__
TWINE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PYPI_API_TOKEN }}
run: twine upload dist/*
- name: GitHub Release
uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
with:
generate_release_notes: true # auto-changelog from merged PRs
draft: false
prerelease: false
2. Repo secret: PYPI_API_TOKEN added at Settings → Secrets (scoped to a PyPI API token with only the gitreins project). The workflow reads it via secrets.PYPI_API_TOKEN; the step has no if: github.event_name == ... guard so it runs only on v* tag pushes — normal commits and PRs never touch PyPI.
3. Foreman-direct cut of 0.12.0 (manual one-time backfill that also validated the pipeline):
# version bump + changelog date
sed -i 's/^version = .*/version = "0.12.0"/' pyproject.toml
# (edit CHANGELOG.md: unreleased -> 0.12.0 - YYYY-MM-DD)
git add pyproject.toml CHANGELOG.md && git commit -m "Release 0.12.0"
# build + upload (this won the race vs CI on first run — see EVIDENCE)
python -m build
twine upload dist/* # CONTRIBUTING step 6, now optional
# tag + GitHub release
git tag -a v0.12.0 -m "GitReins 0.12.0"
git push origin main --tags
gh release create v0.12.0 --generate-notes # fallback if CI release step was mid-deploy
Subsequent releases are now purely: bump version → update changelog → git tag vX.Y.Z + git push --tags. CI builds, uploads to PyPI, and creates the GitHub Release. Step 6 of CONTRIBUTING was deleted/replaced with "push the tag."
- **Gap measured:** `git log --oneline v0.11.0..HEAD | wc -l` → 202 commits. After the fix, `v0.12.0` was cut with a proper tag; the next release needs only a tag push. - **P0 live verification (fresh venv, post-release):** ```bash python3 -m venv /tmp/gitreins_verify && /tmp/gitreins_verify/bin/pip install gitreins==0.12.0 /tmp/gitreins_verify/bin/gitreins init && /tmp/gitreins_verify/bin/gitreins guard # exit 0; sdist+wheel metadata, version, and CLI guard all confirmed on the uploaded artifact ``` This proves the published artifact (not just the local build) is intact. - **Pipeline green despite race:** first tag-push CI run failed **only** on `twine upload` with `HTTPError: 400 ... File already exists` — the manual upload from the foreman-direct cut had already won. Build, PyPI auth (token valid), and the GH-release step were all green; the failure was the expected duplicate-upload race, resolved on the next release by letting CI be the sole uploader. - **Edge cases tested:** - `gitreins guard` in a directory without a valid `.gitreins` manifest → non-zero exit + clear message (guard failure path). - `gitreins init` in a pre-existing repo with an existing manifest → idempotent, no clobber. - Untagged push to `main` → workflow does not fire (verified via Actions run list: zero runs on non-tag commits). - Re-pushing `v0.12.0` → tag push rejected by git (`tag already exists`), preventing double uploads; PyPI side was protected by the duplicate-upload 400. - `v*` glob excludes non-release tags (e.g., `dev-*`), so scratch tags never hit the publish job. ---
