ember-cli-release

library1.0.0-beta.2jsnpmunverified

Ember CLI addon (v1.0.0-beta.2) for managing release versions via git tags. Provides an `ember release` command that bumps version in package.json and bower.json, commits, tags, and pushes. Supports SemVer and date-based strategies, custom hooks, annotated tags, and NPM publishing. Streamlined alternative to `npm version` with Ember-specific integration. Release cycle is slow; beta for years. Key differentiator: non-SemVer strategies and Ember addon ecosystem integration.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

default

✓ import ReleaseCommand from 'ember-cli-release'

✗ const ReleaseCommand = require('ember-cli-release')

ESM import works; CommonJS require may not resolve correctly in Ember CLI contexts. Used as an addon, not typically imported directly.

release

✓ ember generate release

✗ ember install ember-cli-release

The addon is installed via `ember install`, not generated. The `release` command is invoked via `ember release`.

config/release.js

✓ // config/release.js module.exports = { /* options */ };

Config file generated on install. Exports a plain object with options; no specific import needed.

Shows installation, basic release with patch bump, minor bump, and annotated tag usage.

// 1. Install as Ember addon ember install ember-cli-release // 2. (Optional) Configure in config/release.js // 3. Run release command: // Automatically increment patch version, commit, tag, push ember release // Increment minor version: ember release --minor // Annotated tag with custom message: ember release --annotation "Release %@"

ember --version

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedember-cli-release is in beta and has not seen updates since 2016. Consider using release-it or standard-version.

fix

Migrate to release-it: npm install -D release-it; configure .release-it.json

affects: >=1.0.0-beta.2

gotchaThe `premajor` option in config does nothing because it's always ignored as per docs.

fix

Do not use `premajor`; use `major` with manual prerelease identifier if needed.

affects: >=1.0.0-beta.2

breakingIf your project lacks a `bower.json`, the default manifest list will cause an error.

fix

Set `manifest: ['package.json']` in config/release.js or on CLI.

affects: >=1.0.0-beta.2

gotchaThe `--yes` option skips all confirmation prompts including dangerous operations like publishing.

fix

Use with caution; consider explicitly confirming with CI or dry-run.

affects: >=1.0.0-beta.2

deprecatedBower support is deprecated; `bower.json` handling will likely be removed in future versions.

fix

Remove bower.json from project or set manifest: ['package.json']

affects: >=1.0.0-beta.2
