Current Behavior

We use auto in our CI to manage our versioning.

For canary releases, Auto uses a version format of <version>-canary.<pr#>.<hash>

We started to see our CI randomly failing (based on commit hash or build hash) the last few days with the following error:

Error: Running command 'npx' with args [lerna, publish, prepatch, --dist-tag, canary, --registry, <REDACT>, --yes, --no-git-reset, --no-git-tag-version, --exact, --no-verify-access, --preid, canary.661.2207bf7] failed


Changes:
 - <REDACT>: 0.127.2 => null
 - <REDACT>: 0.35.0 => null

...

lerna ERR! Cannot read properties of null (reading 'trim')
lerna ERR! errno "undefined" is not a valid exit code - exiting with code 1

After digging deep into Lerna / Auto, I found out the root cause was due to a change of the semver package between 7.6.0 and 7.7.0

Expected Behavior

I would expect semver.inc('1.0.0', 'prepatch', 'canary.661.2207bf') to continue to return a valid value or semver.valid('1.0.1-canary.661.2207bf.0') to return null

Steps To Reproduce

npm i semver@7.6.0 --save-exact

node -e "console.log(require('semver').inc('1.0.0', 'prepatch', 'canary.661.2207bf'));"

1.0.1-canary.661.2207bf.0

npm i semver@7.7.0 --save-exact

node -e "console.log(require('semver').inc('1.0.0', 'prepatch', 'canary.661.2207bf'));"

null

npm i semver@7.7.0 --save-exact

node -e "console.log(require('semver').valid('1.0.1-canary.661.2207bf.0'));"

1.0.1-canary.661.2207bf.0
