Steps to Reproduce

  • package.json :
{
  "name": "commitlint-parser-test",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node analyze-commits.js"
  },
  "type": "module",
  "dependencies": {
    "conventional-commits-parser": "6.3.0"
  }
}
  • analyze-commits.js:
import { CommitParser } from "conventional-commits-parser";

function analyzeCommitMessage() {
  const message = `feat(core): some subject with
  its second line under with only one carriage return

  A body`;

  console.log("Commit Message:");
  console.log(message);

  const parser = new CommitParser();
  const parsed = parser.parse(message);

  console.log("\nParsed component:");
  console.log(JSON.stringify(parsed, null, 2));
}

analyzeCommitMessage();

and starts with npm run start

Current Behavior

The result is :

{
  "type": "feat",
  "scope": "core",
  "subject": "some subject with"  <=================================
  "body": "  its second line under with only one carriage return\n\n  A body", <=====
  "merge": null,
  "revert": null,
  "header": "feat(core): some subject with",
  "footer": null,
  "notes": [],
  "mentions": [],
  "references": [],
}

Expected Behavior

{
  "type": "feat",
  "scope": "core",
  "subject": "some subject with\nits second line under with only one carriage return" <====
  "body": "A body",  <=============================================
  "merge": null,
  "revert": null,
  "header": "feat(core): some subject with",
  "footer": null,
  "notes": [],
  "mentions": [],
  "references": [],
}

Context

Following convention commit specs :

<type>[optional scope]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]

optional body is after a blank line
So I'm not sure that's correct to consider that the body start after the subject new line, could it be blank or not
