This test run was triggered on the branch, while semantic-release is configured to only publish from master, next, therefore a new version won’t be published.

We are running semantic release from azure pipelines. The scenario is as below:

• We have a main branch where all the developers commit to and prerelease is enabled. The semantic versions generated are in format 4.1.0-beta.5.
• For each prod release, we would be cherry-picking the commits and create a new branch that would reside in releases/ folder and would generate the version as: 4.1.0.0.

The problem with this is, that the release branch would change for each prod release, and I am struggling to dynamically pass the branch name to .releaserc.yml.

.releaserc.yml

branches:

• name: main
  channel: beta
  prerelease: beta
• name: releases/${nextRelease.channel}

releaseRules:

• type: 'revert'
  release: 'minor'
• type: 'docs'
  release: 'patch'
• type: 'style'
  release: 'patch'
• type: 'chore'
  release: 'patch'
  plugins:
• '@semantic-release/commit-analyzer'
• '@semantic-release/release-notes-generator'
• '@semantic-release/npm'

The message I am getting for semantic release step is:

[12:35:54 PM] [semantic-release] › ℹ Running semantic-release version 19.0.3

How can I dynamically pass the branch name (from which azure pipeline was triggered) to .releaserc.yml, as it will change for prod release.
