Error: Not supported

[jorgebodega]

Describe the bug
While running semantic release on an action, I'm getting an error Error: Not supported after detecting what version should be created.

Expected behavior
While running on local environment, with dry run flag, it does not fail.

Additional context

Workflow is using last version of semantic-release due to Renovate Bot. If this action does not support that, please tell me.

I can second this. Error only occurs when using the dry_run flag

[gvart-sellics]

same for me, fails on dry_run

[maxiride]

Failing also not on dry_run, can't share links due to a private repo. Below the logs and the workflow. The same workflow worked just fine couple of days ago.

[gvart-sellics]

Hi there, I've managed to fix it by adding:

with:
   semantic_version: 18

[jorgebodega]

Sure, that is what i did, but i prefer to mantain the correct stable verison on semantic-release than just change this to use an older version.

For me, that is just a workaround, not a good choice

[cycjimmy]

Sorry, the error is due to the latest semantic-release@19 no longer supporting environments below node16. Try using cycjimmy/semantic-release-action@v3 to fix the error.

[jorgebodega]

Let me check this, I'll let you know

[jorgebodega]

I confirm that is working now. Thanks for your work!
