I'm currently using semantic-release for versioning of my react library.
https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release

Question: Is it possible to generate the artifacts without publishing it?

For example, in my use case I would like to generate: - Version Release Number (@semantic-release/commit-analyzer) - tar file that will be publish to npm (@semantic-release/npm) - change log (@semantic-release/release-notes-generator)

If you run the dry run option, it will print the version release number and the change log to console, but I want to store it to a file. One workaround is I could pipe the results and then parse, but it'll be nice if it can pass the plugin could put the data in a file during the dry run.

The dry run won't run the publish stage which is where the files get tar'ed up.

Any Advice appreciated, Thanks, Derek

You can use the npmPublish option of the @semantic-release/npm plugin. This will generate the tar file for the npm package but it won't publish it to the npm registry.

// In your package.json file add the following property which ensures that npm will not publish

"private": "true"

// In your github action's workflow/release.yml file use the following to store your tar file

- run: | 
      mkdir -p ~/new/artifact
      echo ${{contents_of_your_file}} > ~/new/artifact/yourtarfile

  - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
    with:
      name: artifactname
      path: '~/new/**/*'

  - name: download
    uses: actions/download-artifact@v1
    with:
      name: artifactname
      path: '~/new/**/*'
