[bug] Monorepo path_filters fails to reference paths outside the current package subtree #1380
Description
Question
In a monorepo with structure like:
./
- src/: shared code
- projects
- api/
- pyproject.toml
- src/
- <other packages>
- ...
I’d like any change in src/ to be reflected as a change of the package in projects/api by setting path_filters like:
[tool.semantic_release.commit_parser_options]
path_filters = [".", "../../src"]
But modifications in src/ don’t get added to the generated changelog:
touch src/test.txt
git add .
git commit -m "fix: test"
cd projects/api
semantic-release -v --noop version
Should I not rely on path filters to include such changes in code shared by multiple packages ?
