Problem

The create-tag.yaml workflow was failing with the following error:

Error: Version spec '5.x' resolved as '5.12.0' does not satisfy the range '>=6.1.0 <7.0.0'.
See https://github.com/GitTools/actions/blob/main/docs/versions.md for more information.

This occurred because the workflow was using incompatible versions:

  • GitTools/actions v4.1.0 requires GitVersion >=6.1.0 <7.0.0
  • The workflow specified GitVersion 5.x which resolves to 5.12.0

According to the GitTools/actions version compatibility matrix:

GitTools/actions GitVersion GitReleaseManager Node.js Azure DevOps Agent
v4.x >=6.1.0 <7.0.0 >=0.20.0 >=20.0.0 4.244.1

Solution

Updated the GitVersion versionSpec from '5.x' to '6.x' in .github/workflows/create-tag.yaml to align with the GitTools/actions v4.x requirements.

Changes

  • Updated .github/workflows/create-tag.yaml line 27: versionSpec: '6.x'

This minimal change ensures the workflow can successfully install a compatible GitVersion (e.g., 6.1.0 or later) that satisfies the v4.x action requirements, allowing the tag creation workflow to run successfully.

Original prompt

Workflow /.github/workflows/create-tag.yaml is failing due to incompatibility of versions for GitTools
