Updating lockfiles

[PurpleBooth]

I was seeing about migrating one of my cargo projects to uplift and I came across an interesting problem. This project is written in rust, and changing the version number in Cargo.toml requires the Cargo.lock. Normally this is handled by running cargo fetch or cargo update --workspace.

Is there any way to include this in the version bump commit?

So in this instance, uplift needs to be able to execute a bespoke command as part of the bump process? I have been toying with the idea recently of introducing hooks into uplift that will allow the invocation of shell commands. Please let me know if I have understood this correctly or not. Don't have much experience of using rust

My feeling at the moment is that before is the wrong place to do the type of actions we are talking about (i.e. it's essentially part of the bumping). For this particular use, before should be run just before/after the bump (after the gitcheck task). Maybe a better approach is to add another specific hook (on_bump/before_bump/after_bump/before_commit) which can be used for this purpose.

This does sound like the ultimate way to go. A much richer hook lifecycle throughout the entire workflow of uplift. That would provide it with a greater degree of flexibility.

Captured this as an issue, #192

Hooks are now skipped in dry run mode

The number of lifecycle hooks has now increased within uplift. You can now invoke shell commands and scripts at many different points within the release workflow.
