Usage

The following example uses this plugin to demonstrate using semantic-release in a Python package where __VERSION__ is defined in the root __init__.py file.

{
  "plugins": [
    "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
    [
      "@google/semantic-release-replace-plugin",
      {
        "replacements": [
          {
            "files": ["foo/__init__.py"],
            "from": "__VERSION__ = \".*\"",
            "to": "__VERSION__ = \"${nextRelease.version}\"",
            "results": [
              {
                "file": "foo/__init__.py",
                "hasChanged": true,
                "numMatches": 1,
                "numReplacements": 1
              }
            ],
            "countMatches": true
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    [
      "@semantic-release/git",
      {
        "assets": ["foo/*.py"]
      }
    ]
  ]
}

Validation

The presence of the results array will trigger validation that a replacement has been made. This is optional but recommended.
