Hello All,
I am trying to create an automated pre-release CI.
It appears that each pre-release takes a version just like a real release, making it much harder to create CI around it.
so each version used by a pre-release cannot be used by a release, and each pre-release need to be uploaded to a new version that did not exist before, this is just insane.

I wanted to create auto pre-release on each commit on master so new features can be tested without destroying the experience for users.
I want your help, what is the best way in your opinion that the extension can be regularly tested by users?
I see three options:

  • Implement a proper work around for Microsoft's bad marketplace implementation (will take a lot of effort from my side)
  • From time to time create a release with several new features and wait for the community to raise issues
  • for each new release, first release it as a pre-release, wait for two weeks and then release it again as a regular release (if no problems were found)

please help me know what works best for you

For reference, the Microsoft edition used a versioning strategy where official releases always had version numbers like x.y.0 and prereleases used a date-based number in the patch digit. That provides less flexibility with the version numbers for official releases, but it makes it easy tell at a glance if a version number is a pre-release and ensures that pre-release version numbers are always higher than the version number of the latest official release.
