  ⨯ release failed after 0s                          error=yaml: unmarshal errors:
  line 91: field replacements not found in type config.NFPM 

Answer 1

Sounds like a bug or unaccounted by exporter change in goreleaser.

File .goreleaser.yml on its 91 line contains replacements:. It seems like goreleaser doesn't expect it to be there.

Try modifying Makefile's release block to use older version of goreleaser. Or find out which changes resulted in breaking compatibility, and replace replacements: block accordingly.

Additionally, consider filing an issue in their repo.

Answer 2

I pulled old image of goreleser: v1.18.2 which fixed the issue
