GitReleaseNotes.exe /OutputFile CHANGELOG.md throws exception

[mrbelk]

When I try to run this command from within my repo, I get the following error:

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Number of ordinal arguments must at least {0}.
   at Args.ModelBindingDefinition`1.EnsureCorrectNumberOfOrdinalArguments(IEnumerable`1 ordinalArgs)
   at Args.ModelBindingDefinition`1.BindModel(TModel model, IEnumerable`1 args)
   at Args.ModelBindingDefinition`1.CreateAndBind(IEnumerable`1 args)
   at GitReleaseNotes.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\projects\gitreleasenotes\src\GitReleaseNotes\Program.cs:line 32

When I try to run the tool specifying the WorkingDirectory (of "."), I get nothing. When I specify /Verbose, I can't find where a logfile might be created and there is no verbose logging emitted to the console (Powershell).

What might I be doing wrong?

Try

Gitreleasenotes . /o changelog.md

Hello i have the same issue with version 0.7.1 installed by chocolatey.

The command Gitreleasenotes /O test.md it does generate the following exception:

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: Number of ordinal arguments must at least {0}. at Args.ModelBindingDefinition1.EnsureCorrectNumberOfOrdinalArguments(IEnumerable1 ordinalArgs) at Args.ModelBindingDefinition1.BindModel(TModel model, IEnumerable1 args) at Args.ModelBindingDefinition1.CreateAndBind(IEnumerable1 args) at GitReleaseNotes.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\projects\gitreleasenotes\src\GitReleaseNotes\Program.cs:line 32

The command Gitreleasenotes . /O test.md it does not generate any error but no file is created.

Any movement on this issue? Would really like to use this tool for building ReleaseNotes. The GitVersion stuff is great, and this would be a nice companion for that.

I installed mine using Chocolatey, and it worked for the first time (although the tags were not ordered correctly) using gitreleasenotes . /o notes.md /alltags /verbose. However, after deleting the output file and re-running the command-line, nothing happens. No exception, no nothing. Had the same thing the last time I tried this project.

I haven't tried replicating this yet, but perhaps your working directory is not what you believe it to be? Can you try, rather than a ".", specify the full path to your repo directory?

[dennisdoomen]

The first time it works, the next time nothing happens. As if it is keeping some state somewhere.

[JakeGinnivan]

A while back a bunch of stuff got broken, at the moment I am just using gitreleasenotes . /o newrelease.md.

Because it work enough for me I haven't got back to it :(

[mkoertgen]

Had the same exception as in #95 (comment).

Adding "." as working directory worked for me. Also multiple times in a row.

[dennisdoomen]

The point is that it doesn't throw anything. It just doesn't work anymore.

[GeertvanHorrik]

Once GitTools.Core is stable enough, we will give this component some love again.

👍

This is caused by the first argument being a switch (arg preceded by /). First argument must always be the WorkingDirectory path because of the ArgsMemberSwitch attribute on GitReleaseNotesArguments

I discovered this the hard way by debugging! The /? doc is incorrect!
