Use target-version in a file, then create the tag of both

[GuyKh]

Hey,

I'm developing a custom-component for HomeAssistant and when I want to publish a new version - I have to:

1. Update the version number in file manifest.json
2. Create a release for that version.

I wanted to automate the process by creating a manual action where I just select which type of bump do I want to use - and it updates it automatically.

See workflow:

name: Create a Release

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      bump_type:
        description: 'Bump Release Type'
        required: true
        type: choice
        options:
          - patch
          - minor
          - major

permissions:
  contents: write

jobs:
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: (DryRun) Bump version and push tag
        id: tag_version_dry_run
        uses: mathieudutour/[email protected]
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          dry_run: true
          default_bump: ${{ github.event.inputs.bump_type}}
          tag_prefix: ''
          release_branches: 'main'
          pre_release_branches: 'main'
          custom_release_rules: |
            "*:${{ github.event.inputs.bump_type}}:Patch"

      - name: Update manifest.json
        run: |
          git config --local user.name "github-actions[bot]"
          git config --local user.email "github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
          jq -r ".version = \"${{ steps.tag_version_dry_run.outputs.new_version}}\"" custom_components/ims/manifest.json > custom_components/ims/manifest.json.tmp && mv custom_components/ims/manifest.json.tmp custom_components/ims/manifest.json
          git add custom_components/ims/manifest.json
          git commit -m "[GitHub Action] Bump version to ${{steps.tag_version_dry_run.outputs.new_version}}"
          git remote set-url origin https://guykh:${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}@github.com/${{ github.repository }}
          git push origin main # Push the commit

      - name: Bump version and push tag
        id: tag_version
        uses: mathieudutour/[email protected]
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          default_bump: ${{ github.event.inputs.bump_type}}
          tag_prefix: ''
          release_branches: 'main'
          pre_release_branches: 'main'
          custom_release_rules: |
            "*:${{ github.event.inputs.bump_type}}:Patch"

      - name: Create a GitHub release
        uses: ncipollo/release-action@v1
        with:
          tag: ${{ steps.tag_version.outputs.new_version }}
          name: ${{ steps.tag_version.outputs.new_version }}
          body: ${{ steps.tag_version.outputs.changelog }}

As you can see, I run a dry-run to calculate the bumping of the version, update the file, running it again (not dry-run) and creating a Release.

The issue I'm facing is that the tag created (step Bump version and push tag) doesn't include the updating of the manifest.json file.

Any ideas how to solve that?
