fix: install gitsemver in create-release build artifacts job - #194
Merged
Conversation
Makefiles generated by devctl now use `gitsemver version` to compute the build version (introduced with architect-orb v9.0.0). The GHA runner doesn't have gitsemver pre-installed, causing VERSION to be empty and the packaged artifact to be named without the version string, so the upload step fails to find the expected file.

Summary
gitsemverinstall step to thecreate_and_upload_build_artifactsjob increate-release.yamlBackground
Makefile.gen.go.mk(generated by devctl) was updated to compute the build version with:This was introduced as part of the architect-orb v9.0.0 migration where
gitsemverreplacedarchitect project versionas the canonical version-stamping tool. In CircleCI,gitsemveris bundled inside the architect executor image. On GHA runners it is not present.Without this fix,
gitsemveris missing on the runner →VERSIONevaluates to empty → the binary is built as e.g.devctl-v-linux-amd64→ the upload step looks fordevctl-v8.0.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz→stat: no such file or directory→ job fails.Observed failing run: https://github.com/giantswarm/devctl/actions/runs/26753246655/job/78846384928
