Update to GitVersion 2.5.x does not work

[koppor]

I am not sure whether to report here or to https://github.com/GitTools/GitVersion.

I try updating GitVersion to 2.5.0 (and 2.5.4; see JabRef/jabref#6147).

After updating, I get that json != json:

Unhandled exception. GitVersion.Exceptions.WarningException: Value 'json' cannot be parsed as output type, please use 'json' or 'buildserver'

My config is not too complex:

assembly-versioning-format: '{major}.{minor}.{WeightedPreReleaseNumber}'
assembly-informational-format: '{major}.{minor}{PreReleaseTagWithDash}--{CommitDate}--{ShortSha}'
mode: ContinuousDeployment

branches:
  master:
    regex: ^master
    tag: ''
    pre-release-weight: 0

Google did not find the exception, so I think, it's a local issue somehow?

[arturcic]

can you use the latest version 0.9.2? can you also specify in versionSpec 5.2.x?

[koppor]

I took the steps out of README.md:

I thought that v0.9 was an alias for the v0.9.x (what other extensions also do). Fixed (refs #82).

Works now.

[arturcic]

that's the version tag so it should be explicit

[koppor]

I got the idea from the checkout action

OMG, for actions/cache, they fucked it up:
