Simple Script does nothing

I am trying to understand how/where the scripts run. I've got a very simple shell script for testing that I want to run during any step. I've tried several.

Below is my releaserc file as well as the contents of the script. I can see where the output of semantic release shows where it runs but there is never any output from the script. No output from the echo command or version.txt is ever created. Also, notice that I do not have "./" in front of my version.sh because this runs on a windows machine and errors out when it is included. Any tips are appreciated.

releaserc

{
"branches": ["master"],
"plugins": [
    "@semantic-release/commit-analyzer",
    "@semantic-release/release-notes-generator",
    "@semantic-release/changelog",
    ["@semantic-release/exec", {
      "publishCmd": "version.sh ${nextRelease.version}"
    }],
    ["@semantic-release/git", {
      "message": "chore(release): ${nextRelease.version} [skip ci]\n\n${nextRelease.notes}"
    }]
  
    ]
}

Shell script
#!/bin/bash

VERSION=$1
echo "This is the version from semantic release"
echo $VERSION >> version.txt

Start with the releaserc configuration and version.sh to trace how @semantic-release/exec invokes the publish command on Windows. Run the release workflow with this configuration and check whether the script output and version.txt appear. Done means the command executes during publishing and version.txt contains ${nextRelease.version}.
