Walkthrough

The PR adds a GitHub release configuration file, updates CI/CD workflows to use GitVersion GitHub Actions (v6.4.0) instead of dotnet tools, adjusts SonarQube token handling to environment variables, reconfigures GitVersion from main to develop branch tracking, and updates test project dependencies.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary

Version Configuration
GitVersion.yml
Switches primary branch configuration from main to develop with alpha label; updates pull-request regex pattern for pr detection; replaces static tag with dynamic pr{Number} label; removes prevent-increment-of-merged-branch-version setting

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20–25 minutes

Areas requiring extra attention:

  • GitVersion.yml branch logic: Verify the develop-to-main branching strategy and pr{Number} label generation logic aligns with intended release workflow
  • SonarQube token migration: Confirm environment variable substitution (SONAR_TOKEN) is properly configured in CI/CD secrets and GitHub Actions contexts
  • GitVersion version upgrade: Validate compatibility between v6.4.0 and the new actions (v4.2.0) versus previous versions; check for breaking changes in configuration handling
  • Dependency updates: Ensure test SDK v18.0.1 and xunit runner v3.1.5 maintain compatibility with the rest of the test infrastructure

Poem

🐰 Hop, hop, the workflows now flow,
With GitVersion actions all aglow!
From dotnet tools to GitHub's embrace,
We version our code with newfound grace—
Tests upgraded, configs refined,
Release excellence, now defined! 🎉

Fix inconsistent SonarQube scanner parameters: use sonar.token in both begin and end steps.

The workflow uses /d:sonar.token in the begin step (line 101) but /d:sonar.login in the end step (line 105). The sonar.login parameter is deprecated; use /d:sonar.login="${{ env.SONAR_TOKEN }}" should be /d:sonar.token="${{ env.SONAR_TOKEN }}" to match the begin step and align with modern SonarQube/SonarCloud authentication standards.

step uses the deprecated /d:sonar.login parameter while the begin step uses
/d:sonar.token; update the end step to use /d:sonar.token="${{ env.SONAR_TOKEN
}}" so both begin and end use the same modern sonar.token parameter for
authentication.

gittools/actions/gitversion execute v4.2.0 useConfigFile documentation


<web_search_result>
Summary: The GitTools GitVersion "execute" GitHub Action (v4.2.0) accepts a useConfigFile boolean input. Set useConfigFile: true to tell the action to load a GitVersion configuration file (default name GitVersion.yml) and useConfigFile: false (or omit) to run with GitVersion defaults. If true you can also specify configFilePath to point to a non‑standard location. Example usage:

  • uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v4.2.0
    with:
    useConfigFile: true
    configFilePath: GitVersion.yml

Documentation / examples: GitTools actions examples for the execute step and the GitHub Actions example showing useConfigFile/configFilePath. [1][2]

Sources:
[1] GitTools/actions — execute example (GitHub docs/examples). (github.com)
[2] Example GitHub Actions workflow using gittools/actions/gitversion/execute with useConfigFile and configFilePath. (gdservices.io)

Citations:


useConfigFile: true is required for GitVersion.yml to be recognized by the new GitHub Actions.

The web search confirms that gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v4.2.0 requires explicit useConfigFile: true to load the GitVersion.yml configuration file. Without this parameter, the action uses GitVersion defaults and ignores your repository's configuration.

Since your repository contains a GitVersion.yml file with critical configuration (ContinuousDeployment mode, branch-specific versioning rules, alpha labels), the removal of useConfigFile: true is a breaking change. The new gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v4.2.0 step must include:

    - name: Determine Version
      id: gitversion
      uses: gittools/actions/gitversion/execute@v4.2.0
      with:
        useConfigFile: true

Without this, custom versioning logic will be lost and the build will use default GitVersion behavior instead.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
.github/workflows/release-build.yml around lines 27 to 34: the GitVersion
execute action is missing useConfigFile: true so your repository GitVersion.yml
is ignored; update the "Determine Version" step to add a with section that sets
useConfigFile: true so the action loads and honors your repository's
GitVersion.yml configuration.
