Transition from version to rc version

[krzysiekbielicki]

incrementPrerelease should work like snapshot versions - increment patch and add -rc1 in case of no previous prerelease.

> ./gradlew currentVersion
1.0.1
> ./gradlew release  -Prelease.versionIncrementer=incrementPrerelease
> ./gradlew currentVersion
1.0.2-rc1
> ./gradlew release  -Prelease.versionIncrementer=incrementPrerelease
> ./gradlew currentVersion
1.0.2-rc2

I left a comment in PR. I think this would introduce breaking change - i would rahter see new incrementer instead.

hi guys, it doesn't work for me in 1.10.0
having a project with single release tag 0.1.1 and calling

gradle-rc1-test (master|✔) $ ./gradlew release -Prelease.dryRun

> Task :verifyRelease
DRY-RUN: uncommitted changes: false
Looking for uncommitted changes..
DRY-RUN: ahead of remote: false
Checking if branch is ahead of remote..
Checking for snapshot versions..

> Task :release
Creating tag: 0.1.1
DRY-RUN: creating tag with name: 0.1.1
Pushing all to remote: origin
DRY-RUN: pushing to remote: origin

still produces 0.1.1 but as I understand it should be 0.1.1-rc1 right?

my config

plugins {
    id 'pl.allegro.tech.build.axion-release' version '1.10.0'
}

scmVersion {
    tag {
        prefix = ''
    }
    versionIncrementer 'incrementPrerelease', [initialPreReleaseIfNotOnPrerelease: 'rc1']
}

project.version = scmVersion.version

Try 1.10.1, it wasn't released in1.10.0 :) I just published it.

Big thanks, now it works. That's great, I was already afraid I would have to switch to something more reliable from PHP world ;)

Give us some more time to build the essential tooling ;)
