[Question] Multiple drafts same repository

[ranrsg]

I'm using the release-drafter to generate draft releases for two projects I have in the same repository.
We got to a point where we overwrite each other drafts and I would like to have a dedicated draft for each project.

As far as I understood the config-name input should help me here - but I could not figure out how to make it work.

My current setup:

• A dedicated release-drafter config file for each project inside the .github directory
• A dedicated Github workflow file for each project

1. Project X

• release-drafter config (.github/release-drafter-x.yml)

template: |
  ## Project X - What’s Changed

  $CHANGES

• Workflow (.github/workflows/project-x.yml)

name: Project X RELEASE
on:
    push:
      tags:
        - 'Project_X_Release*'

jobs: 
  project-x: 
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps: 
    - uses: release-drafter/release-drafter@v5.21.1
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      with:
        config-name: release-drafter-x.yml
        tag: ${{ github.ref_name }}
        name: "Project X Release"
        version: "<sample>"

2. Project Y

• release-drafter config (.github/release-drafter-y.yml)

template: |
  ## Project Y - What’s Changed

  $CHANGES

• Workflow (.github/workflows/project-y.yml)

name: Project Y RELEASE
on:
    push:
      tags:
        - 'Project_Y_Release*'

jobs: 
  project-y: 
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps: 
    - uses: release-drafter/release-drafter@v5.21.1
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
      with:
        config-name: release-drafter-y.yml
        tag: ${{ github.ref_name }}
        name: "Project Y Release"
        version: "<sample>"

I expected to have separate release drafts for each project with this setup - but it seems like the drafts are getting overwritten by each other.
Is it possible to generate separate draft releases for different project on same repo? if so, where am I wrong in my setup?

You can use tag-prefix for this.

Just add to your drafter configs:

tag-prefix: "project_x/"
tag-prefix: "project_y/"
