Comparison links in changelog not working for bitbucket

[sondrele]

I've configured a couple of projects on bitbucket cloud to use semantic-release, and I've noticed a small issue where the comopare link the generated CHANGELOG.md results in a 404.

Description

Generated release note in CHANGELOG.md

# [1.1.0](http://bitbucket.org/<PROJECT>/<REPO>/compare/v1.0.0...v1.1.0) (2019-06-03)


### Features

* **foo:** my feature ([46b6609](http://bitbucket.org/<PROJECT>/<REPO>/commits/46b6609))

The link above results in a 404 on bitbucket, instead it should be (found on SO):

# [1.1.0](https://bitbucket.org/<PROJECT>/<REPO>/branches/compare/v1.1.0%0Dv1.0.0) (2019-06-03)

Solution

Is this a problem that you're aiming on fixing as part of this package (being that the major git hosting providers seams to be supported)?

We use conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog to generate the content of the changelog.

The problem is over there: conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog#185

Since it doesn't look like conventional-changelog are too hot on fixing #185 (3 years old), here's an easy workaround for Bitbucket Server! It might be same for cloud, not sure

Add following snippet to your package.josn under release -> plugins.
[ "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator", { "preset": "conventionalcommits", "presetConfig": { "commitUrlFormat": "{{host}}/projects/EN/repos/your-repo-name/commits/{{hash}}", "compareUrlFormat": "{{host}}/projects/EN/repos/your-repo-name/compare/diff?targetBranch=refs%2Ftags%2F{{previousTag}}&sourceBranch=refs%2Ftags%2F{{currentTag}}" } } ]

You may notice "your-repo-name" is not {{owner}} since the latter incorrectly begins with en/ for bitbucket.

That will sort you out for both commit links and compare links. Syntax is taken from here: https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog-config-spec/blob/master/versions/2.0.0/README.md#substitutions-1
All the values there go directly into presetConfig, as above. Cheers

This config work for me:

[ "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator", { "preset": "conventionalcommits", "presetConfig": { "commitUrlFormat": "{{host}}/{{owner}}/{{repository}}/commits/{{hash}}", "compareUrlFormat": "{{host}}/{{owner}}/{{repository}}/compare/{{currentTag}}%0D{{previousTag}}#diff", "issueUrlFormat ": "{{host}}/{{owner}}/{{repository}}/issue/{{id}}" } } ]
