No release to Gitlab package registry

[silvio-gratani]

Using v1.0.0

When used alongside @semantic-release/gitlab in a GitLab project only the release is created while no artifact is generated in the package registry.

Gitlab docs on installing a Composer package states that "A package in the Package Registry" is required.

Is it a bug o it has not been meant to work on Gitlab?

Yes, we had the same problem. We solved it by running a deploy job only on tags:

deploy:
  stage: deploy
  script:
    - 'curl --header "Job-Token: $CI_JOB_TOKEN" --data tag=$CI_COMMIT_TAG "${CI_API_V4_URL}/projects/$CI_PROJECT_ID/packages/composer"'
  only:
    - tags

This should create the package in the Gitlab registry as well.
