changelog: false throws ENOENT error when CHANGELOG.md doesn't exist in packages at pnpm monorepo (contradicts documentation) #569
Description
Hi there.
When changelog is set to false in .changeset/config.json, the documentation states that "no changelogs will be generated." However, the action throws an ENOENT error when CHANGELOG.md files don't exist in packages, attempting to read them despite the configuration.
According to the official documentation:
If it is false, no changelogs will be generated.
Error

errno: -2,
code: 'ENOENT',
syscall: 'open',
path: '/packages//CHANGELOG.md'
}
Node.js v24.12.0
Configuration
.changeset/config.json:
{
"changelog": false,
...
}
Expected Behavior
When changelog: false, the action should not attempt to read CHANGELOG.md files and should complete successfully without them
Environment
- changesets/action: v1
- @changesets/cli: 2.29.8
- Node.js: v24.12.0
Workaround
Setting "changelog": "@changesets/cli/changelog" resolves the error, but this
contradicts the purpose of disabling changelog generation.
