What would be the best process in building tags and having goreleaser push the code changes onto it?

[romelBen]

I have projects that use this pattern to follow semver processes; however, I am running into an issue when it comes to goreleaser GHAs erroring after the tag has been created:

name: GoReleaser Deployment

on:
  pull_request:
  push:
    tags:
      - "*.*.*"

permissions:
  contents: write
  # packages: write
  # issues: write
  # id-token: write

jobs:
  goreleaser:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Install Syft
        uses: anchore/sbom-action/download-syft@v0.18.0

      - name: Configure Git
        run: |
          git config user.name "$GITHUB_ACTOR"
          git config user.email "$GITHUB_ACTOR@users.noreply.github.com"

      - name: Set up Go
        uses: actions/setup-go@v5
        with:
          go-version: stable

      - name: Get Next Version
        id: semver
        uses: ietf-tools/semver-action@v1
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          branch: main
          noVersionBumpBehavior: current
          noNewCommitBehavior: current

      - name: Create Git Tag
        run: |
          TAG="${{ steps.semver.outputs.next }}"
          echo "Creating tag $TAG"

          git checkout main
          git pull origin main --tags

          # Ensure the latest commit is tagged
          if git rev-parse "$TAG" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
            echo "Tag $TAG already exists. Skipping."
          else
            git tag -a "$TAG" -m "Release $TAG"
            git push origin "$TAG"
          fi

      - name: Run GoReleaser
        uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v6
        with:
          distribution: goreleaser
          version: "~> v2"
          args: release --clean --config .goreleaser.yaml
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      - uses: actions/attest-build-provenance@v2
        with:
          subject-checksums: ./dist/checksums.txt

With the error:

 /opt/hostedtoolcache/goreleaser-action/2.6.1/x64/goreleaser release --clean --config .goreleaser.yaml
  ⨯ release failed after 0s                  error=open .goreleaser.yaml: no such file or directory
Error: The process '/opt/hostedtoolcache/goreleaser-action/2.6.1/x64/goreleaser' failed with exit code 1

I know the issue comes from tagging but am I misunderstanding how tagging is performed with goreleaser? Is goreleaser performing the tagging or is it on us to do the tagging? Would appreciate any help on this.

Disregard. I was able to resolve it. I just need to push my changes to my main branch. Thanks for this tool. It's awesome!
