semantic-release publish is deleting files from dist/* directory

[surya-sigtech]

The problem

When running semantic-release publish in our CI workflow using Github Actions, the command is unexpectedly deleting files within the dist/ directory. It's worth noting that this directory is untracked and listed in our .gitignore file.

Expected behavior

We expect semantic-release publish to execute successfully without affecting any untracked files, simply pushing the new release.

Environment

• We are using poetry as a build tool.

python --version
3.11.8
semantic-release --version
7.32.2
poetry --version
1.5.1

Configuration

[tool.semantic_release]
version_variable = [
    "{project_dir}/__version__.py:__version__",
    "pyproject.toml:version"
]
branch = "master"
changelog_components = "custom_changelog_generator.custom_changelog_generator"
upload_to_pypi = false
upload_to_release = false
commit_author= "xxx"
hcvs = "github"
build_command = "poetry build"

Logs

Only info logs are available.

Current version: 7.0.5, Current release version: 7.0.5
Bumping with a patch version to 7.0.6
Pushing new version
warning: Missing token: cannot post changelog to HVCS
Publish has finished

Additional Information:

The semantic-release command is executed in our Github Action step using the following command:

python -m poetry run semantic-release publish

@surya-sigtech, are you able to upgrade to the latest version? If you can, it's highly likely the bug will not exist. I am less familiar with the v7 code as there was a heavy re-write for v8, and separately I do not plan to provide updates to v7.

The configuration has changed so you will need to update according to the migration instructions on the documentation site.
