"semantic-release version" not updating pyproject.toml or git tag

The problem

I’m using PSR (v7.29.2) with poetry and when running semantic-release version I receive the following output:

Creating new version
Current version: 0.1.0, Current release version: 0.2.0

However, the pyproject.toml file still has version = "0.1.0" and no new tags are generated. Per the docs, this should “Figure out the new version number, update and commit it, and create a tag.”, but seemingly nothing is happening except the new version determination. No warnings or errors are observed using -v WARNING or -v ERROR, respectively.

Expected behavior

I expected the version number to be updated to 0.2.0 in pyproject.toml, a new tag to be generated, and the change to be committed.

Also, per https://py-pkgs.org/07-releasing-versioning I expected to the following output:

Creating new version
Current version: 0.1.0
Bumping with a minor version to 0.2.0

Maybe that is no longer expected output, but at least expecting notification of bump.

Hello, we’re having issues when adding new projects that already have a non 0.0.0 version but didn’t create commits with the version number. get_current_release_version_by_commits returns 0.0.0

We get this in the logs:

debug: get_current_release_version_by_commits -> 0.0.0
Current version: 1.0.0, Current release version: 0.0.0
...
debug: evaluate_version_bump('0.0.0', None)
debug: Reference v0.0.0 does not exist, considering entire history
...
debug: Commits found since last release: 136
debug: evaluate_version_bump -> patch
debug: get_new_version('1.0.0', '0.0.0', 'patch', False)
error: Error: Current version 1.0.0 and current release version 0.0.0 do not match!

I don’t have time to debug further so we’re rolling back to 7.28.1 for now.

@bheijden Your explanation seems correct. I have a commit with pip: bump types-requests from 2.28.0 to 2.28.2 (#23) from dependabot. It is indeed the 2.28.0 that semantic-release publish -v debug --noop picks up:

debug: get_current_version_by_config_file()
debug: Regex matched version: 0.0.1
debug: get_current_version_by_config_file -> 0.0.1
debug: get_current_release_version_by_commits()
[…]
debug: Commits found since last release: 31
debug: evaluate_version_bump -> minor
debug: get_new_version(0.0.1, '2.28.0', 'minor', False)
error: Error: Current version 0.0.1 and current release version 2.28.0 do not match!

I am using python-semantic-release 7.29.6.

Downgrading to 7.28.0 allows the operation to proceed as expected.
