Tracing

To add tracing to all requests you should write in browser console:

localStorage.enable_tracing_for_all_requests = "true"

It will add X-Want-Trace: 1 header to all requests. Tracing data will be in Traceresponse response header

Making a hotfix version

Instruction if you don't want to merge common release from the main branch, but want to make a hotfix to a current tag.

Possible scenario: you have a big release with many changes in the main branch, but you want to make a new tag and npm package with some little fix.

1. Select a tag you want to add hotfix to:

git checkout v6.30.0

2. Create new branch from this tag. Name the branch with following pattern: hotfix/<tag-name>, otherwise release-please workflow won't see your branch

git checkout -b hotfix/v6.30.0

3. Cherry pick needed commits from the main branch or create new commits. Name new commits according to conventional commits so they appear in the hotfix changelog
4. Create commit with correct release tag in release-please-config.json. Name release tag with following pattern: <tag-name>-hotfix.<hotfix-number>

{
  // Some general settings
  "packages": {
    ".": {
      "release-as": "6.30.0-hotfix.1" // The string you need to add
    }
  }
}

5. Push branch to origin. Release PR will be created automatically
6. Merge release PR, new tag and npm package version will be created
