Im experimenting with nx release and cannot figure out how make the command release an app when I make a change to a dependent module.
Looking at the below graph, you can see i have 3 apps, 2 are dependent on the shared-ui module.

If I make direct changes to the apps, nx release detects the changes (via conventional commits) and continues as expected. I’ve now made a change to the shared-ui module and committed it as fix(shared-ui): made a change. I expected that task-management-web and sales-orders-web would have their patch version incremented, but nx release does not detect any changes.

The changes to shared-ui are being done in a branch. The list of affected apps is correct;

$ nx show projects --type app --affected
sales-orders-web
company-web

but nx release does not detect the changes.

Even explicitly listing the projects to release yields the same output, ie:

$ nx release --projects sales-orders-web company-web --dry-run --skip-publish

Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

Thanks,
Grant
