Poetry version from file plugin

This is a simple Poetry plugin that loads the project version dynamically from a VERSION file.

Usage

Add the plugin to the build system requirements:

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core", "poetry-version-from-file"]

The plugin must be enabled with this configuration:

[tool.poetry.plugins.version-from-file]
enabled = "true"

The create a file named VERSION and put your projects version nummber in it.

If you already have a file containing your projects version you can configure the plugin to use that file with the following settings in your pyproject.toml:

[tool.poetry.plugins.version-from-file]
file = "VERSION.txt"
