ffurrer2 / extract-release-notes Goto Github PK

Since this action is Docker-based it can run only on Linux. Would there be an interest to change it to a JS one in order to enable it on other platforms?

I can make a PR but I'd like to know beforehand if there's an interest or should I write a different action.

It would be nice if the action were to extract the content between the first and second H2 if a parameter such as prerelease: true were set.

For example,

- name: Extract release notes
        id: extract-release-notes
        uses: ffurrer2/extract-release-notes@v1
        prerelease: ${{ env.PRERELEASE }}

This would interact nicely with actions/upload-release-asset.

Thank you for developing this action; it has been very useful!

However, I recently encountered an issue where I created a release note for an incorrect tag. If this action could also output the H2 line, it could then be compared with the tag specified in github.ref_name in a subsequent step, preventing such mismatches.

Thank you for considering this request.

I have a Keep A Changelog formatted CHANGELOG.md file; running this action with all default settings fails with

Error: Reduce of empty array with no initial value

Here is the job and relevant files:
