Fetch error: not found

[slorber]

I'm trying to release a new Docusaurus version and got a weird error when generating the changelog.

In the downloadIssueData I added a try/catch and noticed it tries to fetch an issue that does not seem to exist 🤪

And nothing can be found at facebook/docusaurus#4018

I don't know if it's Github API that should not return 4018 in the first place, or a bug in Lerna, just wanted to report this issue.

However I think it could be useful to add an option to fail-safe in case of such fetch errors, or at least print the issue number in the error message so that user does not have to hack inside the library code to find the reason this fails?

I don't know if it's Github API that should not return 4018 in the first place, or a bug in Lerna, just wanted to report this issue.

we are essentially parsing the commit messages for common merge commit patterns and extracting the issue numbers from that. it could be that this is a false positive, but I agree that it shouldn't error just because of that 😅

I think having an error printed to the console wouldn't be a big deal.

However when you are in the middle of a release and you are stuck because you can't generate the changelog, it can be more annoying 😅 just adding a try/catch would be a quick win

@Turbo87 also hitting this in a private repo, it's a bit unclear why. I've set the github token and all PRs are labelled. Anything we can do to make this more debuggable?

a PR with a bunch of debug prints maybe 😅
