Customizing types seems to not do anything

[mattfelten]

Following the Preset docs, it looks like preset can accept a types array where you can rename types and turn them off.

Here's what my .release-it.js file looks like:

module.exports = {
  npm: {
    publish: false,
  },
  git: {
    commitMessage: "chore: release v${version}",
    push: false,
    requireBranch: "main",
    requireCleanWorkingDir: true,
  },
  plugins: {
    "@release-it/conventional-changelog": {
      infile: "CHANGELOG.md",
      preset: {
        name: "conventionalcommits",
        types: [
          { type: "feat", section: "✨ New Features" },
          { type: "perf", section: "🚀 Performance" },
          { type: "fix", section: "🐛 Bug Fixes" },
          { type: "style", section: "💅 Visual Updates" },
          { type: "build", section: "🛠 Builds" },
          { type: "ci", section: "⚙️ CI" },
          { type: "docs", section: "📚 Documentation" },
          { type: "chore", hidden: true },
          { type: "refactor", hidden: true },
          { type: "test", hidden: true },
        ],
      },
      writerOpts: {
        transform(commit, context) {
          const jira = new RegExp(/MC-[0-9]+/, "i");
          if (jira.test(commit.scope)) {
            const [issue] = commit.scope.match(jira);
            commit.scope = `[${issue}](${jira_url}/${issue})`;
          }
          commit.shortHash = commit.hash.substring(0, 7);
          return commit;
        },
      },
    },
  },
  hooks: {
    "before:init": ["git fetch origin", "git reset --hard origin/main"],
    "after:release": "./.release/publish-prod.sh",
  },
};

But this is what was generated

## [1.72.0](<branch compare url>) (2023-11-28)


### feat

* ...


### chore

* ...


### fix

* ...


### refactor

* ...


### build

* ...

You can see that section names are not being used and also the chore and refactor sections which are supposed to be hidden are visible.

Is there another way of doing this?

Sorry, I don't really have an answer to this, other than checking out other issues in this repo and the docs of conventional-changelog (linked to in docs).

@mattfelten I just tested it and it is working correctly for me.

i found that using @release-it/conventional-changelog.writerOpts.transform would override the preset
but using finalizeContext fixed it for me

docs: https://github.com/conventional-changelog/conventional-changelog/blob/master/packages/conventional-changelog-writer/src/types/options.ts

this is where im trying to filter specific commit message format to be included in conventional-changelog with monorepo setup

{
  plugins: {
    '@release-it/conventional-changelog': {
       writerOpts: {
            finalizeContext: (ctx) => {
          const commitGroups = (ctx?.commitGroups || []).map((group) => {
            const commits = group.commits.filter((commit) => {
              const INCLUDED_SCOPE = ['apps/1', 'apps/2', 'apps/3'];
              return INCLUDED_SCOPE.includes(commit.scope);
            });

            return {
              ...group,
              commits,
            };
          });
          return { ...ctx, commitGroups };
        },
      },
        }
    }
  }
}
