The pre command doesn't respect privatePackages option #2024

Setup

Using @changesets@2.31.0

I have the following config.json file:

{
  "changelog": "@changesets/cli/changelog",
  "commit": false,
  "fixed": [],
  "linked": [],
  "access": "restricted",
  "baseBranch": "master",
  "updateInternalDependencies": "patch",
  "privatePackages": false
}

With a monorepo with the following structure:

repo/
├── apps/
│   ├── app1/ # Main app - private: true
├── libs/ # Shared packages
│   ├── lib1/                                # private: false
│   └── lib2/                                # private: true
│   └── shared-eslint-config/                # private: true
└── ....

app1 depends on lib2 and shared-eslint-config.

lib1 depends on shared-eslint-config.

lib2 depends on shared-eslint-config.

Observation

Exiting the pre mode with a pending changeset for lib1 and then calling changeset version will version bump every packages, including private packages.

changeset will also create a CHANGELOG for all of them (they previously didn't have a CHANGELOG.md).

1. changeset pre enter next
2. changeset # Create a patch for lib1
3. changeset pre exit
4. changeset version

Expectation

Because privatePackages was set to false, I expected changesets to not create/update the CHANGELOG.md of private packages and I expected changesets to not version bump the private packages.

I expected it to only do this to lib1, which is the only public package.

If we never entered pre mode, then changesets respect privatePackages.
