Prerelease version vs release version

[iamstiil]

Hi,

when I run nx run components:version --dryRun --trackDeps I get the bump from 0.1.1 to 1.0.0.
But when I run nx run components:version --dryRun --trackDeps --releaseAs prerelease --preid next I get the bump from 0.1.1 to 0.1.1-next.0, but shouldn't it be 1.0.0-next.0?

Hi @iamstiil, the 0.1.1-next.0 is a correct prerelease version for 0.1.1. If you want to bump the version up to the next major version and down to a prerelease of that major version you can use --releaseAs premajor --preid next.

Similar comment.....if I have successfully created a pre-release version of e.g. 1.0.0-next.0, if I then bump with a --releaseAs premajor --preid next it tells me it cannot find the version tag and attempts to tag again as 1.0.0-next.0 which fails because the tag already exists.

But - if I were to use --releaseAs prerelease --preid next it will find the tag and generate it as 1.0.0-next.1 with no error.

And - If I were to use --releaseAs preminor --preid next I would expect it to bump to 1.1.0-next.0 but again it says it cannot find the tag and instead bumps it to 0.1.0-next.0. Which succeeds, but is not what I was expecting.

Am I doing something wrong?
