Dependent package

[Tomerfi1210]

Hey,
I have a monorepo project with this tree:

app/
 --common
   |--package.json
 --app1
   |--package.json
 --app2
   |--package.json

For now, when I there is a change in app1 or app2, a new tag and release is happend.
But, I want also to trigger new tag and release when there is a change in common directory.

Im using gitlab, npm and lerna for that.

Example of package.json in app1:

{
  "name": "app1",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "semantic-release": "lerna exec --concurrency 1 -- semantic-release -e semantic-release-monorepo --tag-format='${LERNA_PACKAGE_NAME}-v\\${version}'"
  },

Thank you !

My first thought would be to break out your releases into multiple stages.

• First release the common package
• Update app1 and app2 dependencies and commit new lock file.
• Release app1 and app2

You'll want to consider the range of versions you want app1 and app2 to automatically accept from common i.e. non breaking changes. To avoid automatic breaking releases of app1 and app2
