We have a need to lock the version of Django for production and tests, but
also to test on newer versions of Django so that we can get the repo ready
for long-term-support releases.
We've been doing that by extracting the `django==x.y.z` from the
pip-compiled files and moving it to a django.txt that is then co-installed
but can be overridden during tests. The problem is that this can result
in broken packages.
The approach here is to have `make test-requirements` continue to
ensure a consistent set of packages, and then install a different
Django on top of that in the CI script -- and call `pip check` to make
sure that combination isn't broken.
Adding Django 4.0 to the unit-tests.yml matrix will now correctly
result in this error and a failing job:
`django-splash 1.2.1 has requirement Django<4.0, but you have django 4.0.8.`
The other half of this is to change other CI runners to remove their
ability to control the Django version, since it's complicated to make
this work, and we probably only need it in unit-tests.yml. Convert them
to just use `make test-requirements`.
Also:
- Simplify handling of `pip --src` by setting `PIP_SRC` (rather than our
own `PIP_SRC_DIR`, which pip ignores because `--src-dir` isn't an option
that it knows). This is needed to allow `make test-requirements` to do
the pip calls. An alternative would be to set a pip-options env var for
the make target to use, but `PIP_SRC` already exists.
- Remove outdated modifications to common_constraints
- Add comment explaining why pylint tests need dev-requirements
We were seeing this error whenever unit tests
were run from a fork (only forks use the GH-hosted
workflow, which is why this was able to merge
into master):
You have an error in your yaml syntax on line 65
The comment hash (#) needs to be aligned
with the rest of the text block.
