@eberkund Can you give a link to your repo please?
And also try with the following branch: uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@fix-gettag

It is a private repo so I cannot share it unfortunately. This is the contents of my goreleaser.yml file though.

In my GitHub workflow I added if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/') based on the updated README as a workaround for now (which just skips the action). Previously I was using the action without a condition and things were working as expected. Is this the intended behaviour?

I have only tried non-tagged commits because I didn't want to make a release when the build was failing.

     - name: Run goreleaser
        uses: goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v1
        if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')
        with:
          version: latest
          args: release
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Hi @crazy-max I tried goreleaser/goreleaser-action@fix-gettag and it works again (without the if condition) thanks! Will that branch me merged to master soon?
