Update Django and Python versions in test matrix #91
Conversation
|
I will look into refactoring the test stack to work with more modern packages and defaults, but wanted to have this in as a first step, and base any refactors off of that — so I plan to follow up separately after landing this. Feel free to amend the dependencies as you see fit, I'd rather not touch these (only wanted to have more current tests without rewriting any actual code as a first step). |

TL;DR the rest is mostly metadata, so this is really the only impact here — basically moving the requires in line with what is pinned for testing, to have the visibility into confirming it truly working. Feel free to revert if you feel like still keeping the older (and fully working as of now) versions around.

I think this is fine. If it breaks for somone, they can still use an earlier release while they open a bug report

Yeah requests needs to be kept at non-vulnerable version anyways, and I'm on the fence how to properly version stable packages when just silently dropping EOLed envs (and not really breaking them per se) … that are basically half a decade out of support. (Semver purists would insist on major, I don't think it's even noteworthy;D)

I believe you can avoid having to duplicate these exclusions by using tox-gh-actions or what looks like a newer package maintained by the tox devs, tox-gh.

My issue with tox-gh* while cleaner in the yml (but chattier in the ini) is that it's extremely easy to have tests passing but run on non-matching env — if a mere typo in conf is passed to tox, it'd run all the M×N on defaults (=the same unconstrained deps just many times over) instead of being loud about it, and hide the fact silently inside endless collapsed plaintext logs.
(And, also, runs the tests sequentially instead of all in parallel, which is why I stopped upgrading to it honestly; it actually was part of this PR at some point, but I've probably rebased it away to see the matrix done faster…)

However: I recently came across this smart hack mozilla-services/python-dockerflow#102 that kinda solves all of the shortcomings of the different approaches (combined!) so once I get a bit more familiar with it, I may start converting some workflows to it, to get rid of duplicated configs on both sides. Since I will be touching the matrix again soon, I'll try to apply something similar to that instead at that point.

we could add "Programming Language :: Python :: 3 :: Only" also

👍 I'll be updating the identifiers again after redoing the test stack to something more current anyways so I'll keep that in mind.
(I must have followed a pattern from another moz(meao) package that also never adopted it at some point in the history…)
BTW I'm no expert in the metadata, what's the significance of the value per se? Is it to make it explicit that it used to support v2.x but now is only v3.x compatible? Or there's another sentiment included with it over the years? Thanks!

Adding newer versions and removing non-LTS branches, now running tests on Python 3.9–3.11 and Django 3.2, 4.2 and 5.1–5.2 ✅
(To support Python 3.12 a refactor is in the cards unfortunately, migrating away from imp, therefore replacing nose with nose2 or pynose or pytest…)
