Semantic Release Not Handling Package.json Or Files One Level Up Correctly

[jxe142]

Current behavior

When using the following configuration, the @semantic-release/git plugin appears to push the changelog and any files located in the same or subdirectory of the releasing library to the target branch. However, it does not push the package.json files or any other files that are one level up (../) from the released library.

const commitUpdatedAssets = [
  '@semantic-release/git',
  {
   // Notice we use a regex and relative path and both fail but CHANGELOG.md works
    assets: ['../**/*/package.json', `${disRoot}/package.json`, `../beam/package.json`  'CHANGELOG.md'],
    message:
      'chore(release): ${nextRelease.version} [skip ci]\n\n${nextRelease.notes}',
  },
];

const plugIns = [
  commitAnalyzer,
  releaseNotesGenerator,
  updatePackagesThatDepOnMeVersion,
  changelog,
  npm,
  github,
  commitUpdatedAssets,
];

Expected behavior

The @semantic-release/git plugin should respect other package.json files or files that are not in the released library and are one level up (../). These files should be pushed to the repository along with the files that are local to the library (./).

For anyone running into this issue as well, where any files from a parent directory won't be added:

We used @semantic-release/exec to manually add the files before running @semantic-release/git:

    [
      "@semantic-release/exec",
      {
        prepareCmd:
          "git add ../foo/bar.txt ../fooz/baz.txt",
      },
    ],
    [
      "@semantic-release/git",
      {
        // Something needs to be in there, otherwise the git plugin won't create a commit because it thinks nothing was added
        assets: ["package.json"], 
      },
    ],
