Action does not find a specified file in version_files

[lulingar]

Scenario

• A repository holding a python project, with the following structure:

repo-root/
├── .cz.toml
├── .gitignore
├── src
│   ├── pypackage
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   └── ...
│   ├── pyproject.toml
│   └── requirements.txt
└── test
    └── ...

• The contents of .cz.toml being:

[tool.commitizen]
version = "0.0.5"
tag_format = "v$major.$minor.$patch"
version_scheme = "semver"
version_provider = "pep621"
major_version_zero = true
update_changelog_on_bump = false
version_files = [
    "src/pyproject.toml:version",
]

• The invocation of this action

- id: cz
  name: Commitizen | Bump
  uses: commitizen-tools/commitizen-action@master
  with:
    push: false
    commit: false
    increment: PATCH
    github_token: ${{ secrets.MYTOKEN }}
    changelog: false

Expected outcome

Running the cz job step should succeed, bumping the version on .cz.toml and src/pyproject.toml.

Actual outcome (failure)

The log of execution is:

Can you share the full action?

[lulingar]

The relevant job is as follows:

jobs:
  ...
  bump:
    name: Bump Version & Release
    needs:
    - build
    - lint-and-test
    - is-release
    runs-on: ...

Is the file in the repository?

[lulingar]

Well, of course it is.

[woile]

Can you add a step before the cz action?

- run: |
  tree -L 3
# and then the cz 
- id: cz

[lulingar]

As a workaround, I replaced the action by installing commitizen in a virtualenv during the workflow job, and when run, it resulted in the same exact error! So I called commitizen like:

cd src/
cz bump

and it worked. So I am moving the contents of .cz.toml back into src/pyproject.toml as a subsection, removing the version_files stanza.

[lulingar]

I would suggest the action to provide an optional input root_dir, under which cz will be invoked if passed.

[woile]

I see, I was under the assumption that you had a pyproject.toml at the root of the project.
