Hello

 I noticed today that Release Drafter is not picking up a merged PR (label is bug). 
The repository (https://github.com/jenkinsci/audit-trail-plugin) has been configured with the Release Drafter app since June 9, 2019.
Last successful run of Release Drafter on this repository is on May 2.

Sorry, message was sent too soon...

I found another message from May 16 (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/jenkinsci-dev/g4z-in-uTcE/X9eImwv9CwAJ) reporting an issue too.
I also investigated the repositories that are given as example in https://github.com/jenkinsci/.github/blob/master/.github/release-drafter.adoc and none seem to have had a release drafter made release since May either.

My current theory is that something has been broken in between May 2 and May 16, but I have no idea what.
I cannot find any logs to help.

Anybody still able to have Release Drafter working?
The readme (https://github.com/jenkinsci/.github/blob/master/.github/release-drafter.adoc) is stating that we should prefer the App over the github action, is it something that changed?

Thanks

The git client plugin 3.1.1 release changelog was generated by release drafter 11 days ago.  https://github.com/jenkinsci/git-client-plugin/releases/tag/git-client-3.3.1

I switched to gh actions and it's now working as expected (plus I have the logs in case of failure :)).

Thanks for the help!

Where do you get that from?

I would suggest updating documentation to emphasize that the GH Action
is more predictable. It is also suggested for new plugins here:

https://github.com/jenkinsci/archetypes/pull/155/files#diff-a5ae691e4fcc564fd4336cb5188cc84bR1

Proposed a change that is also aligned with the official deprecation of the Release Drafter app: https://github.com/jenkinsci/.github/pull/38

I updated my configuration to use the GH action too
Is there still an interest to use Oleg's version instead of the official one ?

Yes, the official one works pretty well right now. It lacks stability w.r.t. fetching the actual changelog. Iit has no "previous release tag" parameter, and there are assumptions there, but my branch is the same. 
+1 for updating to GitHub actions by default
