Maintaining pytest-cookies 🍪

[hackebrot]

Hi @phillipahereza & @AGMETEOR! 👋

Thanks so much for your interest in helping out with maintaining pytest-cookies. Have you folks used pytest and cookiecutter before?

[phillipahereza]

Hi @hackebrot yes I have used Cookiecutter and pytest

Hi @hackebrot hope you are well.
Just wanted to add that it would be nice to bump the deps version for this project: pytest ^6.0.0 and python ^3.9 for.

@hackebrot I am interested in helping to maintain pytest-cookies. I recently opened #55 which modernizes the project a bit and would also look to take on additional efforts regarding project maintenance and features.

@hackebrot would you consider submitting pytest-cookies to @pytest-dev? I think this plugin is quite popular and it might help to alleviate the maintenance burden.

[JonZeolla]

I will happily help with migration work and future maintenance/modernization. Let me know where I can help

[wwuck]

@JonZeolla I think any migration to pytest-dev would have to come from @hackebrot as the project owner if he wanted to pursue that option. The migration doc does mention a changelog requirement so I'm wondering if the "github releases" changelog would be sufficient?

[hackebrot]

Hi folks! 👋🏻

Thank you for offering to help with maintenance for this plugin. I do wonder whether it makes more sense for this plugin to be migrated to the Cookiecutter org. What do you think?

[JonZeolla]

That sounds reasonable to me

[JonZeolla]

@hackebrot any update on that migration? I have some modernization work that I would like to get into this project. Let me know if I can help with anything - I am trying to avoid creating a fork if possible.
Thanks

I'm keen for this modernisation too, and can help if required. The baseline should be Python 3.7, pytest 4 and cookiecutter 2 now (at least).

update: See #63

Agree with this; PR noted above fixes some issues we were seeing

[JonZeolla]

@hackebrot I'm still happy to take over this project if you are willing to transfer it to me (or into an org). I would be looking to merge my modernization PR #55 and pick up other modernization efforts like #63, etc.

[aaronsmith1234]

Hey @hackebrot , just following up on above; this is a super useful project and would hate to see it become unmaintained.
