Cannot update package.json

[softshape]

Here's my .releaserc file which updates changelog.md on each build:

    [
    "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator", {
      "preset": "conventionalcommits"
      },
    ],
    [
      "@semantic-release/git",
      {
          "message": "chore: Release ${nextRelease.version} [skip ci]\n\n${nextRelease.notes}"
      }
    ]

I want to update version number in package.json also. But as soon as I add it to the config:

      "@semantic-release/git",
      {
          "assets": ["package.json"],
          "message": "chore: Release ${nextRelease.version} [skip ci]\n\n${nextRelease.notes}"
      }

it stops to update changelog.md (and doesn't update package.json anyway).

What is the correct way to update both changelog.md and package.json?

Hey there, I think that the problem here it's missing semantic-release/npm plugin.

I suggest to check this answer.

Hello there,

I must say it's duplicate of this issue : semantic-release/semantic-release#1593 (comment)
The package.json's version of your project isn't committed because you're missing @semantic-release/npm in your configuration, you'll need to add it into your dependencies though.
I agree, it's a little confusing because most of us thought it had to do with releasing a package in npmjs, which is not the case.

Hope the issue is resolved 👍
