Current Behavior

After upgrading to semantic-release v22, I am getting the following console output:

[9:59:18 AM] [semantic-release] › ℹ  Running semantic-release version 22.0.0

Expected Behavior

It should work 😛

Steps To Reproduce

1. Install semantic-release v22 and this package
2. Run the cli command.

Environment

- **semantic-release/semantic-release** version: 22.0.0
- **@saithodev/semantic-release-backmerge** version: 3.2.0

Anything else?

The problem is, that the commit semantic-release/semantic-release@72ab317 introduced the exports property in the package.json which makes it impossible to import internal files of the package. There is also already an issue discussing this issue on the semantic-release repo: semantic-release/semantic-release#2968.

I just wanted to drop the info here if anybody else is experiencing this issue. But also to be aware of any possible fix discussed in the linked issue of the semantic-release repo.

I confirm, we have the same problem

I restricted the dependencies to disallow using it with v22 for now.
I am not actively maintaining this plugin anymore, so I'd appreciate pull requests for any open issues.

Thanks a lot @saitho. Could you trigger a new Release with your change from yesterday?

My current workaround:
Add manual resolution of the semantic-release package to the package.json and then recreate the lockfile.
Tested it with Yarn v1 and prevents it from installing semantic-release v22 as a dependency for @saithodev/semantic-release-backmerge.

Oh right, the build failed. Fixed and new version is released.
