feat!: syntax does not work

[BernhardBaumrock]

Please have a look at this repo: https://github.com/baumrock/conventionalcommits/commits/main

Am I doing anything wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thx in advance

This is because feat! is not considered breaking change in the angular preset I think, only in the conventional commit preset

[BernhardBaumrock]

Thx @TriPSs for the quick reply! So how can I make it use the syntax listed in https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/ ? I thought I'm already using that...

[TriPSs]

By changeing the preset option:

Optional preset: Preset that is used from conventional commits. Default angular.

- name: Conventional Changelog Action
  uses: TriPSs/conventional-changelog-action@v3
  with:
    preset: 'angular' <- here, note: you will have to make sure that the other preset is installed in your repo.

I'm sorry but I'm lost @TriPSs
I understand that I need to change the preset, but the question is which value do I have to use? I've searched the repo for "preset" but I could not find any helpful information and also try and error with using conventionalcommits did not work.
Also where can I find more information about other preset is installed on your system?

[TriPSs]

You can find the different presets here and the value to use is described inside the README of the corresponding preset.

You need to make sure it's installed with npm install <conventional-changelog-conventionalcommits>, check here

Thx @TriPSs that's a pity. I'll stick with the angular preset then as it's easier to use a slightly different syntax than having to npm install external dependencies on every project where I'm using it.
Thx for your help!

@BernhardBaumrock FYI: Since v5 we now compile presets inside the action and since v5.1.0 the conventionalcommits is also added.

hey @TriPSs thx for the heads up! Awesome! Just tested and this works for me:

name: Releases
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  changelog:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: conventional Changelog Action
        id: changelog
        uses: TriPSs/conventional-changelog-action@v5.1.0
        with:
          preset: "conventionalcommits"
          github-token: ${{ secrets.github_token }}

      - name: create release
        uses: actions/create-release@v1
        if: ${{ steps.changelog.outputs.skipped == 'false' }}
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.github_token }}
        with:
          tag_name: ${{ steps.changelog.outputs.tag }}
          release_name: ${{ steps.changelog.outputs.tag }}
          body: ${{ steps.changelog.outputs.clean_changelog }}
