Asking for github authentification when using semantic-release/gitlab with npm workspaces

[MargotDumoulin]

Hi,

I'm using semantic-release-monorepo with semantic-release/gitlab and npm workspaces.
When doing so, I get an error saying that I need to give credentials for semantic-release/github which tries to load even though I don't use the plugin.

Here is my .releaserc.json :

{
  "branches": ["main"],
  "plugins": [
    "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
    "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",
    "@semantic-release/gitlab",
    [
      "@semantic-release/exec",
      {
        "verifyReleaseCmd": "echo VERSION=${nextRelease.version} > build.env"
      }
    ]
  ],
  "extends": "semantic-release-monorepo"
}

Here goes the error :

Am I doing something wrong here?
Are npm workspaces supported?

I had the same issue. Adding -e @semantic-release/gitlab-config to your run config seems to have fixed it.
