Description
\n
I'm using commitizen in a expo + react-native project
\nI do cz init and make a .cz.json like this
\n
{\n  \"commitizen\": {\n    \"name\": \"cz_conventional_commits\",\n    \"tag_format\": \"test-$version\",\n    \"version_scheme\": \"semver\",\n    \"version\": \"3.2.4\",\n    \"update_changelog_on_bump\": true,\n    \"version_files\": [\n      \"package.json:version\",\n      \"app.json:expo.version\"\n    ]\n  }\n}
\n
btw I select commitizen(default) not npm in source of the version
\n
then I do cz commit and cz bump
\neverything finish
\nversion in .cz.json did update
\nbut version in package.json and app.json not update
\n
I'm not sure is it a bug or not,
\nmaybe is something I missed in configuration?
\nor is a syntax error?
\n
Steps to reproduce
\n
\n
run cz init.
\n
select\n
\n
.cz.json
\n
cz_conventional_commits(default)
\n
commitizen(default)
\n
Y (latest tag)
\n
semver
\n
n (correct tag format)
\n
test-$version
\n
Y (auto changelog)
\n
enter (with no hooks)
\n
\n
\n
manually setting version_files in .cz.json
\n
create new commit
\n
run cz bump
\n
\n
Current behavior
\n
after I setting package.json:version and app.json:expo.version
\nI think these 2 files will update the correct version
\nsame as the version in .cz.json
\nbut not
\n
Desired behavior
\n
I want these 3 files update with same and correct version
\n
\n
package.json (version)
\n
app.json (expo.version)
\n
.cz.json (version)
\n

\n
now my question is how to set the correct version property in version_files if version is in a nesting object.
\n

I think you'll need to implement a customized version_provider. Unfortunatly, we don't have a smart enough way to specify complicated conditions in version_files, but we welcome feature proposals 🙂
