Wagtail 7.4 Maintenance by nickmoreton · Pull Request #276 · torchbox/wagtailmedia

nickmoreton · 2026-05-14T15:18:45Z

Summary

Modernise wagtailmedia against the current Wagtail / Django / Python support matrices, retrieved 2026-05-14:

Wagtail: drop 6.3 and 6.4; support 7.0 LTS → 7.4 LTS inclusive (latest LTS is 7.4, previous LTS is 7.0 per Wagtail release schedule).
Django: range is 4.2, 5.1, 5.2, 6.0. Django 4.2 is kept because Wagtail 7.0 LTS still supports it.
Python: unchanged (3.10 – 3.14).

Test fixtures are also patched to keep working on Wagtail 7.3+, where wagtailcore.0094_alter_page_locale tightened Page.locale_id to NOT NULL without a default.

Commits

Add locale to page fixtures for Wagtail 7.3+ compatibility — fixes a latent fixture issue surfaced by adding 7.3/7.4 to the test matrix.
Drop Wagtail < 7.0; add Wagtail 7.3 and 7.4 LTS support — production support-window changes.
Update dev dependencies and CI action versions — dev / CI tooling refresh.

Production changes

pyproject.toml: Wagtail>=7.0; drop Framework :: Wagtail :: 6 classifier.
tox.ini: matrix now covers Wagtail 7.0 / 7.3 / 7.4 across Python 3.10–3.14 and Django 5.2 / 6.0.
README.md / CHANGELOG.md: updated supported-version statements.
Removed legacy _file_field_legacy.html and _thumbnail_field_legacy.html templates and the wagtail_version_gte template tag (only existed for Wagtail < 6.0).
Inlined now-always-true WAGTAIL_VERSION >= (4, 2) / (5, 1) / (6, 0) guards in tests; cleared stale # TODO: Remove once support for Wagtail < 4.1 is dropped comments.
Test fixture references the default Locale row (Wagtail 7.3+ enforces Page.locale NOT NULL).

Dev dependency / CI changes

.pre-commit-config.yaml: pre-commit-hooks v5 → v6, ruff v0.12.9 → v0.15.13.
.github/workflows/ruff.yml: ruff 0.12.9 → 0.15.13 (kept in sync with the pre-commit pin).
.github/workflows/test.yml: actions/setup-python@v5 → v6, actions/upload-artifact@v4 → v5.
.github/workflows/nightly-tests.yml: actions/checkout@v4 → v5, actions/setup-python@v5 → v6.
pyproject.toml extras: coverage>=7.14, tox>=4.54, pre-commit>=4.6.

Out of scope (not changed)

step-security/harden-runner is SHA-pinned at v2.13.1 — leaving SHA-pinned actions for explicit maintainer review.
actions/download-artifact left at v5 (latest is v8) — major bump not verified.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Wagtail 7.3 (migration wagtailcore.0094_alter_page_locale) tightened Page.locale_id to NOT NULL without a default, so fixtures that omit the locale fail to load with an IntegrityError. Point each page at the default Locale row created by wagtailcore migrations. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Update the supported Wagtail range to 7.0–7.4 LTS following the current Wagtail support window, and add Django 6.0 to the matrix. - Bump Wagtail lower bound to 7.0; drop the Wagtail 6 classifier - Expand tox matrix to cover Wagtail 7.0/7.1/7.2/7.3/7.4 and Django 6.0 - Remove legacy file/thumbnail templates and the wagtail_version_gte template tag, which only existed to support Wagtail < 6.0 - Inline now-always-true WAGTAIL_VERSION guards in tests Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Bump pre-commit-hooks to v6.0.0 and ruff to 0.15.13 - Bump testing/linting extras lower bounds (coverage, tox, pre-commit) - Bump actions/setup-python to v6 and actions/upload-artifact to v5 across workflows; align actions/checkout to v5 in nightly tests Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
