[rush] publishFolder doesn't work as expected about rushstack HOT 2 OPEN

I can't use rush version --bump before rush build and rush publish because it requires nextBump to be explicitly stated in the version policy and bypasses the definitions in the change files.

rush version doesn't care whether the repo has been built or not, so it should apply your changefiles regardless. Are you generating changefiles during your build?

rush version is processing the changefiles and they are generated prior. If I have two changefiles where one is marked patch and the other marked minor I'd expect rush version --bump to generate the changelog and bump the version numbers for all my project's package.json to a minor release. However, it will error and say Invalid version number vX.X.X in project-name unless I explicitly write nextBump as stated above, which overrides anything found in the changefiles.

I've tried to use rush publish --apply as another way to "bump" the version number and generate the changelog before publishing, but it will error as there is no package.json found in the publishFolder argument.

Tricky to explain, but basically I have no valid option within Rush and my current setup to:

1. Build my files
2. Bump the version number in all my packages and commit to git, including bumping package.json in the git-ignored "publishFolder" directories

The only way I've managed to get it to work is with two explicit build steps. I'd assume if rush publish also looked at the package.json in the publishFolder and bumped it before publishing it would work as expected. Not sure why it doesn't.
