Version is not updated when running Github Action

[dalenguyen]

Describe the bug

When running Github Action, it keeps getting my old version of the plugin which returns an error when deploying to WordPress Plugin Directory

Steps to Reproduce

This is the failed actions: https://github.com/dalenguyen/firebase-wordpress-plugin/runs/1801687516?check_suite_focus=true

I tried with a different version of the tag, but it keeps the old one.

When running, it retrieves the old version:

Expected behavior

Github Actions passed

Additional context

@dalenguyen the action is likely stripping the preceding v from v0.8.0, so you'll need to try 0.8.1 or something similar to see things work as expected.

Also note that the VERSION variable is really only recommended for testing purposes:

VERSION - defaults to the tag name; do not recommend setting this except for testing purposes.

@dalenguyen is there anything else we can help you with on this or can we close the issue?

[dalenguyen]

Yes, I can close it. Thanks for your help.
