fix(release): create GitHub Releases from a workflow again - #6316
Conversation
GitHub Releases stopped being created after #5746 (--no-push silently disabled lerna's --create-release) and #6031 (lerna removed). Add a workflow that creates the release for each version tag CircleCI pushes: - waits until @ohif/app is on npm at that version - betas are pre-releases; a stable version is Latest only if it is the highest stable version, so 3.12.x patches no longer take Latest - X.Y.0 is created as a draft, counting its notes from the previous X.Y.0, and a review issue is opened for the /.github/ code owners - notes are GitHub generated; an existing release is never modified - manual runs with a dry-run option, and a dry run on PRs that change it Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

I've confirmed at least some of the issues below as far as I can tell: Workflow inputs reach the shell only through env, so there is no script injection. |
|
Hmm, just looking again, I think the first plausible one is wrong, will edit the message momentarily if it is. |
That seems to be likely it matches the v tag name correctly, but fails on the [skip ci], so the plausible is caused by the skip ci, not the tag matching. |
- Trigger on `create` instead of `push: tags`: CircleCI tags its `[skip ci]` version commit, and GitHub skips push workflows for it. - Wait for every public package npm already has, not just @ohif/app. Packages npm has never had (e.g. @ohif/mode-basic) are skipped. - Key concurrency on the tag name, so a tag run and a manual run for the same tag no longer overlap. - PR dry runs pick the newest tag in the script's exact version format. - Add braces to the release list pagination.

🟡 Minor · Retry the package metadata probe before classifying a package… · create-github-release.mjs:153-160
.scripts/create-github-release.mjs:153-160
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winRetry the package metadata probe before classifying a package as never published.
getPackagesToWaitFor()makes oneHEADrequest for each package. If that request returns404, it removes the package from the wait list for the current release run. A transient npm registry or cache404can therefore let the release proceed without checking whether that package version is available. Retry the probe before treating404as evidence that npm has never had the package.Suggested fix
- const statuses = await Promise.all(packages.map(name => npmStatus(name))); + const statuses = await Promise.all( + packages.map(async name => { + const status = await npmStatus(name); + return status === 404 ? await npmStatus(name) : status; + }) + );🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Context
Since Feb 2026, most new versions have no GitHub Release: no betas after
v3.13.0-beta.6, and nov3.13.1tov3.13.10. Releases used to be created by Lerna. #5746 added--no-push, which quietly turned that off, and #6031 (the pnpm migration) removed Lerna completely. CI never failed, so nobody noticed.Also, GitHub gives the Latest badge to whichever stable release was created most recently, which is why
v3.12.18is currently Latest instead of 3.13.x.Changes & Results
Adds a workflow (
.github/workflows/github-release.yml) and a script (.scripts/create-github-release.mjs) that create the release when CircleCI pushes a version tag:@ohif/appfor that version is on npm. This wait is temporary, until npm publishing moves to Actions./.github/owners in CODEOWNERS.GITHUB_TOKEN, so no personal token is needed.Not included:
release/3.12: nothing changes there. After each 3.12 patch, Latest has to be set back to the newest 3.13.x by hand.CHANGELOG.mdfiles: they stay as they are, and will be handled in a follow-up.Testing
Local dry runs:
v3.14.0-beta.37,v3.13.10andv3.12.0gave the expected previous tags, flags and notes. Nothing was written to GitHub.Real runs on a fork, using the button:
