Useful information

Issue description

Sometimes generate-changelog step generates an empty changelog even though there have been some commits between the current and the previous tags. The git-commit-changelog step running immediatelly after generate-changelog is able to find changelog.

Restarting failed builds doesn't help.

Bitrise info

Config:
- NewVersion: 1.1.18.3
- ChangelogPath: /bitrise/deploy/CHANGELOG.md
- WorkDir: /bitrise/src
Changelog:

The changelog content is available in the BITRISE_CHANGELOG environment variable

Steps to reproduce

Haven't found any solid way of reproducing the issue.

  1. Create a release branch from develop, merge into master.
  2. Tag master, which will trigger release deployment -> Deployment sometimes fails due to empty changelog.
  3. Merge the same release branch into develop -> Sometimes empty changelog as well.

We run generate-changelog step on every push to develop as well, and it has never failed after merging ordinary feature/fix branches into develop. It fails when there are release branches and merges into master only.

Hello @insiderser 👋

Can you let me know if the issue is still persistent? In case it is, I'll take this up with the developers and see what can be done to get to the bottom of this 🙂

@Roland-Bak Thanks for looking into this issue.

Yes, the issue was still present as of Jan 6th. It was more frequent on that day. I can share a more recent build URL with you if needed.

@insiderser is my another account. Sorry for messing this up.
