yardl version not yet defined or set during build

[naegelejd]

Soon we'll need to actually version yardl, which may include:

• Defining version in the repo
• Configuring build to set version/commit in cmd/yardl.go
• Tag and release

yardl/tooling/cmd/yardl/main.go

Lines 10 to 13 in 76ea21d

	var (
	// set during build
	version = ""
	commit = ""

@naegelejd, I'm sure we can improve the process, but we we tag and release, and set the version on the binary.

$ wget -q https://github.com/microsoft/yardl/releases/download/v0.3.0/yardl_0.3.0_linux_x86_64.tar.gz

$ tar -xvf yardl_0.3.0_linux_x86_64.tar.gz

yardl version 0.3.0 commit b9465f513d149ba699da8531b65e3d786202d229

Got it. This is done automatically by goreleaser in the Github CI workflow

yardl/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Line 199 in 76ea21d

if: github.event_name == 'push' && github.ref_type == 'tag'

yardl/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Lines 220 to 224 in 76ea21d

	- name: Run GoReleaser
	uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v3
	with:
	version: v1.13.0
	args: release --rm-dist

Doing this locally at build time is not a priority, so... closing.
