Overview:

The deploy_release.yml workflow was not triggering on version tags like v2.1.1 due to an incorrect filter pattern. The pattern '^v[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+' used ^ as a negation operator (matching tags that do NOT match the pattern) and unescaped dots (matching any character instead of literal dots).

Addresses:

This addresses the workflow trigger issue for semantic version tags.

Type of Fix:

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Documentation Change

Solution:

Changed the tag filter pattern from '^v[0-9]+.[0-9]+.[0-9]+' to 'v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+':

  • Removed ^ (negation operator in GitHub Actions filters)
  • Escaped dots to match literal dots in semantic versions

Changes:

  • Updated .github/workflows/deploy_release.yml line 5 with corrected tag pattern
  • Pattern now matches: v2.1.1, v1.0.0, v10.20.30
  • Pattern rejects: v1a2b3, non-version tags

Validation:

Per GitHub Actions documentation, ^ at pattern start negates the match. Workflow will now trigger on push of semantic version tags.

Unit Tests:

N/A - workflow configuration change

Configuration details:

Escaped dots to match literal dots in semantic versions

This is BS.
