.versionrc.json is not being loaded

[flyinbutrs]

.versionrc.json is not being loaded currently, only .versionrc. This is my .versionrc.json file currently:

$ cat .versionrc.json
{
  "scripts": {
    "precommit": "yo version-file --force --git"
  }
}

When I run, note that there's no precommit hook executed:

$ npm run release -- --dry-run

> generator-version-file@0.1.0 release /Users/drosenbloom/git/generators/generator-version
> standard-version "--dry-run"

✔ bumping version in package.json from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1
✔ bumping version in package-lock.json from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1
✔ outputting changes to CHANGELOG.md

---
### [0.1.1](https://github.com/flyinbutrs/generator-version-file/compare/v0.1.0...v0.1.1) (2019-05-29)
---

✔ committing package-lock.json and package.json and CHANGELOG.md
✔ tagging release v0.1.1
ℹ Run `git push --follow-tags origin master && npm publish` to publish

But if I move .versionrc.json to .versionrc and retry, it does execute the hook.

$ mv .versionrc.json .versionrc
$ npm run release -- --dry-run

> generator-version-file@0.1.0 release /Users/drosenbloom/git/generators/generator-version
> standard-version "--dry-run"

✔ bumping version in package.json from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1
✔ bumping version in package-lock.json from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1
✔ outputting changes to CHANGELOG.md

### [0.1.1](https://github.com/flyinbutrs/generator-version-file/compare/v0.1.0...v0.1.1) (2019-05-29)

✔ Running lifecycle script "precommit"
ℹ - execute command: "yo version-file --force --git"
✔ committing package-lock.json and package.json and CHANGELOG.md
✔ tagging release v0.1.1
ℹ Run `git push --follow-tags origin master && npm publish` to publish

Tested on v6.0.1.

$ npm run release -- --version

> generator-version-file@0.1.0 release /Users/drosenbloom/git/generators/generator-version
> standard-version "--version"

6.0.1

Hey! Thanks for the report – this actually isn't supported in the current release, but I've opened a PR that should account for this functionality.

@jbottigliero I'm a bit confused, I think this issue relates to .json format files, not to .js. I have a slight preference for not supporting .js format, as it can lead to bad habits (your configuration shouldn't be a program IMO).

I would however love to fix this bug.

[jbottigliero]

Whoa, yeah... I’ve confused myself. Taking a second look at this...

Let me review the tests and see what’s going on here!

[jbottigliero]

Ah, I see the problem here... it's actually resolved in #357 which will land in the next version @bcoe.

I've opened #381 if we want to ensure coverage for now...

...I think tests deserve a bit of a clean-up with the new configuration patterns, but we can save that conversation for another day.

I can confirm that .versionrc.json is working correctly in 7.0.0.

[stevemao]

Is this addressed? The PR hasn't been merged yet.

[flyinbutrs]

Yes, it's working in 7.0.0. Not sure what changed, but it definitely works.
