I’m trying to use GitLab’s new changelog feature which automatically builds your changelog using your commit history (https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/changelogs.html#from-the-gitlab-cli)

Problem #1

Changelog continues to say no changes made

My .gitlab/changelog_config.yml looks like this:

types:
  - feat
  - fix
  - docs
  - refactor
  - performance

categories:
  feat: Features
  fix: Bug fixes
  docs: Documentation
  refactor: Refactor
  performance: Performance improvements
  
template: |
  {% if categories %}
  {% each categories %}
  ### {{ title }}

  {% each entries %}
  - [{{ title }}]({{ commit.web_url }})
  {% if author.credit %} by {{ author.reference }}{% end %}

  {% end %}

  {% end %}
  {% else %}
  No changes.
  {% end %}

And when I print my previous commits I see (here I replaced actual commit ids with xxxx):
git log --oneline

xxxx (HEAD -> trunk) added a template
yyyy feat: added a template
zzzz new changelog file Changelog: feat
cccc (tag: v1.0.3) docs: testing changelog
eeee docs: adding changelog again
ssss (tag: v1.0.2, origin/trunk) fixed pdm file

I would assume that then my changelog would have something like:

## 1.0.3 (2024-08-06)

Documentation:
- adding changelog again

but when I try glab changelog generate --version v1.0.3, I continue to generate a changelog with no changes:

## 1.0.3 (2024-08-06)

No changes.

Problem #2

When I try to create a changelog with no specified version:
glab changelog generate

I get the following error:

GET https://{gitlab_link}/repository/changelog: 422 {message: Failed to generate the changelog: The requested `version` attribute format is not correct. Use formats such as `1.0.0` or `v1.0.0`.}

but my tags are all in correct format (i think).

The output of git tag is:

v0.1.3
v0.2.11
v0.2.12
v0.2.13
v0.2.14
v0.2.15
v0.2.16
v0.2.17
v0.2.18
v0.2.19
v0.2.20
v0.2.21
v0.2.7
v0.2.8

v0.3.1
v0.3.2
v0.3.3
