Should I push an empty new release 6.1.1 in order to test the release workflow? If it does not work then we can revert for now and push a 6.1.2 🤔

We could use the test.pypi? and you can make a release but tag it as 6.1.1-alpha and not tick "most recent release"?

we could, it makes me think about something that could be useful:

• it would be nice to have some way to run this release workflow just for tests / pushing only to test.Pypi

To do that we can add some filters in the workflow, it can be based on the inputs and decide if this is a real release or not.

What I have in mind is:

• based on the format of the tag, decide to push or not the final step to Pypi

our tags are all formatted as: vX.Y.Z

so we could filter:

• any tag that does not comply exactly like this is for test purpose
• any tag that exactly matches this is for release.

meaning:

• when pushing a tag like v6.1.0-test.1 will only run the tests and push to test-pypi

what do you think ?

This sounds like a good idea to me.

I tried to think of a time we would like to push a tag that is not vX.X.X to PyPi, but I cannot. So, I think there is no problem with this idea.

you're right we never release 'alpha' or 'beta' or release-candidate versions.

What I will do is:

• push some changes in the PR so we push only to test-pypi
• then push a garbage tag on the branch of the PR (not on master branch)
• this will trigger a release workflow on that tag
• that tag contains a release workflow file with only push to test-pypi
• let the workflow run
• if it succeeded
• add the final step to push to real pypi
• ready to merge 👍

alright, that was a good test as it does not work, nice we could catch it before real release.

may be @burnash knows, could you check please the settings you provided to Pypi just in case, when you get a chance ? matching with the workflow filename, the workflow name (which is different) and the env too ?

thank you.
