Add a CompatHelper action?

[dkarrasch]

I noticed JOLI.jl has a couple of outdated dependencies, for instance Flux.jl which is restricted to v0.12, but whose current version is v0.13.14. Perhaps it would make sense to add a CompatHelper workflow, to receive Project.toml updates via PRs, in which you can check if such an update is acceptable or not. See https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/CompatHelper.jl for more info.

Flux.jl isn't a dependency, it's only a conditional one for testing but is not part of JOLI.jl (only used in rrule test).

ComparHelper is already setup
https://github.com/slimgroup/JOLI.jl/blob/master/.github/workflows/CompatHelper.yml

And all dependencies are up to date.

Hm, should have checked before. Okay, but then why isn't NFFT.jl and Flux.jl up to date? I was working on a PR in Julia LinearAlgebra, which requires updates to very fundamental packages. The cap on Flux inhibits updating ArrayInterface.jl, which has updates that make it run smoothly both before and after that PR.

Perhaps updating the CompatHelper script to https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/CompatHelper.jl/blob/master/.github/workflows/CompatHelper.yml would help with the different dependency types.

NFFT.jl newer versions have breaking changes, is on my list to fix.

For Flux there isn't really anything preventing upgrading it will check your link to make sure extra get caught as well.

Thanks for pointing it out

Oh dang, it looks like CompatHelper stopped running due to inactivity, I'll try to keep an eye on it in the future
