pre-commit sample configuration should not suggest rev: stable

Thanks for reaching out! Sorry for staying quiet, I was happily crousing through flyover states when you wrote this. I'm intrigued by the |

No problem! travel is good! I can take a stab at this if you'd like, depends on what option you'd like to call out in the docs -- I can help with a PR if you'd like too! |

Would be great if you fixed that for us, sure :-) First, I'd like to understand what you propose we should do. |

I don't want to add more release burden for you so the "list the exact version and bump it as released" seems probably out of the question. Using a suitable non-value is straightforward, but leads to a huge amount of SEO for this issue for some reason. Probably the best solution is to keep the current sample configuration but then right before the "pre-commit install" suggest something along the lines of: To get a repeatable installation make sure to change the moving tag `stable` to a release of
`black`. The easiest way to do this is by running `pre-commit autoupdate`
(or `pre-commit autoupdate --repo https://github.com/ambv/black`). |

@asottile have you considered solving this from pre-commit itself? That seems a better place to solve this, as I imagine any project providing a precommit config will run into this problem. Maybe the commit hook could check if there's a new version and print a warning/offer to upgrade? |

I've hesitated because it adds two things I don't want:

What Zsolt is suggesting could be opt in (and I would advertise this in my README) and could happen asynchronously while hooks are running. |

yeah I'm not saying I'm opposed to adding something like it, but it's not complexity I've decided to take on yet (there's also the whole question of making async work gracefully in python2, exposing errors from it, preempting if hooks finish faster, not taking resources, adding an option to opt into it, documenting it, messaging for it, and a whole slew of other considerations). It's not a simple feature |

I'm in favor of that. If someone's adding a hook for use with You could even, if you wish, recommend: as that would have localized effect (for |

Just ran in this issue. I was using "stable" but my local version of black and the one on my ci was different making my test to fail. The pre-commit documentation clearly states that mutable rev are not supported:
Reading this issue 974, it doesn't look like it's gonna change. |
* Apply Black v20.8b1 formatting - Should be similar to format of first stable release of Black * Update Black pre-commit hook to use rev v20.8b1 - Using pinned revs is the recommended approach for pre-commit: psf/black#420 * Update development docs to advocate for and explain the use of pre-commit autoupdate
* Apply Black v20.8b1 formatting - Should be similar to format of first stable release of Black * Update Black pre-commit hook to use rev v20.8b1 - Using pinned revs is the recommended approach for pre-commit: psf/black#420
* Update Black pre-commit hook to use rev v20.8b1 - Using pinned revs is the recommended approach for pre-commit: psf/black#420 * Update flake8 pre-commit hook to use rev v3.8.3
Per psf/black#420 adopt a fixed tag. CI can tell us when the code style is out of date with latest black version.

I've run precommit-autoupdate to update black to a current version with an explicit version number. See this issue for reference psf/black#420 (comment) This allows us to pin the github-actions tool versions as well. This commit applies the new formatting style directly.
The recent revisions of the pre-commit integration with black has specified to use the version instead of a constant branch name like `stable` so that it could be updated seemlessly using `pre-commit autoupdate`. For reference, - https://pre-commit.com/#using-the-latest-version-for-a-repository - pre-commit/pre-commit#1354 - https://github.com/psf/black#version-control-integration - psf/black#420

As inidicated in psf/black#420 the mutable tag is not appropriate, so we change to pin a fixed version tag. Additionally, we remove the black version dependency from blacken-docs, and add blacken-docs to the requirements-dev.txt file.
pre-commit black current configuration uses stable for rev, what creates warnings at pre-commit runtime as discussed at the following URL psf/black#420 "pre-commit assumes that the value of rev is an immutable ref (such as a tag or SHA) and will cache based on that. Using a branch name (or HEAD) for the value of rev is not supported and will only represent the state of that mutable ref at the time of hook installation (and will NOT update automatically)" as stated in the official documentation at https://pre-commit.com/#using-the-latest-version-for-a-repository rev stable has been replaced here by 21.5b1 in the precommit yaml file to fix the warning and ensure CI and local pre-commit coherency.

Dont use rev: stable suggestion from https://github.com/psf/black/blob/main/docs/integrations/source_version_control.md psf/black#420 Also black wont fix comments that are too long psf/black#1713 psf/black#182 Must manually fix these to stop flake8 from complaining
* Fix XML coverage reporting * Bump Python version to code style validation * Don't use stable for black per psf/black#420 * Migrated pre-commit config
👋 hello, pre-commit maintainer here :)
The sample configuration currently suggests
rev: stableforblack's repository setup. A mutable ref poses some problems. Notably it gives the illusion that the latest version is being used but in reality it uses the version at install time.This setup isn't suitable for those looking for a repeatable and reproducible linting experience.
The suggestion that we use for our official repositories is to either list the version explicitly in the docs (though this adds tedium to the release cycle) or to use some suitable non-value with instructions on how to substitute an appropriate value.
Yet another option would be to suggest
pre-commit autoupdateafter writing such a configuration as this will usually convert the mutable rev to an immutable tag (or sha if--bleeding-edgeis passed).The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
