latest tag if no tag exists

[chenele]

Hi

Based on the documentation it seems we can use this action even in repo which doesnt yet have any tags exist.

when using it like the following:

• name: Get Latest Tag
  uses: actions-ecosystem/action-get-latest-tag@v1
  with:
  with_initial_version: true # although default
  initial_version: '1.0.0'
  id: get-latest-tag

this step failed with fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything and does not returns the initial_version as the tag...
what am i missing here?

that's because action is not supressing error if no tags found on repository.
In case of default settings semver_only is set to false.
as a workaround you can set semver_only to true and it will work.

I oppened pull request to fix that
