Hi,
How do plugins support multiple pytest versions when the hook api changes?
Or should they?
Example.
pytest-json-report ytest_warning_captured, which was deprecated in pytest
6.
Looks like there's a new hook, pytest_warning_recorded, with similar enough
API.
I haven't tested it to see if the behavior is close enough to work as a
drop in replacement.
But even if it is, switching to the new api makes the plugin only work on
pytest 6.0 and above.
Is it recommended that plugin authors try to force users to always use the
latest pytest?
What if they want to support older versions also?
Is there a recommended way to say this?
if pytest version < 6, use one hook
else use new hook
Thanks,
Brian
