Test error: extras not found for package

[mauritsvanrees]

Running the tests of some packages will since recently fail with something like this:

py313-plone62: failed with extras not found for package plone.intelligenttext: test (available: none)

First seen in plone.autoinclude in the circular dependencies check. Now also in the test, coverage, and circular tox envs in plone.intelligenttext, see GHA in this PR.

Reasons:

• tox 4.36.0 is out since a few days, and this merged ✨ feat(package): validate extras against package metadata tox-dev/tox#3696, solving old issue Validate extras option in tox.ini tox-dev/tox#1113. If a tox env specifies extras which don't exist, you used to get a warning, but now you get an error.
• Most of our packages have a test extra, and we use this in our standard tox setup, but some not. At least plone.autoinclude and plone.intelligenttext don't have it (and don't need it).

Options:

• temporarily pin tox<4.36 in the meta workflows
• add an option to skip the test extra, and set this option in the packages that need it.

Which packages would be affected? I tried it like this in the src directory of 6.2:

$ grep -c extras_require $(grep install_requires */setup.py |cut -d ":" -f1) | grep 0
DateTime/setup.py:0
five.intid/setup.py:0
five.localsitemanager/setup.py:0
Missing/setup.py:0
MultiMapping/setup.py:0
plone.app.locales/setup.py:0
plone.autoinclude/setup.py:0
plone.contentrules/setup.py:0
plone.formwidget.autocomplete/setup.py:0
plone.indexer/setup.py:0
plone.keyring/setup.py:0
Products.ExtendedPathIndex/setup.py:0
Products.ExternalEditor/setup.py:0
Products.PrintingMailHost/setup.py:0
Products.PythonScripts/setup.py:0
Record/setup.py:0
repoze.xmliter/setup.py:0
z3c.batching/setup.py:0
zExceptions/setup.py:0

Some of those are in the zopefoundation. Are they affect too? Yes. I tried zExceptions:

$ toxuv -e py313
...
py313: failed with extras not found for package zExceptions: test (available: none)

So cc @dataflake and @icemac.

So in the plone org we have these packages which may need action, or at least a check if they still work or not:

• five.intid
• plone.app.locales
• plone.autoinclude Skip the test extra. plone.autoinclude#47
• plone.contentrules
• plone.formwidget.autocomplete
• plone.indexer
• plone.intelligenttext Configuring with plone.meta plone.intelligenttext#44
• plone.keyring
• Products.ExtendedPathIndex

repoze.xmliter is in the list in my original comment, but it does not use any meta project, and is still working fine.

For the affected packages in the zopefoundation org I have opened a separate issue in its meta repo.
