No warning for meaningless compat entry about general HOT 5 CLOSED

There was no warning because there was no such compat entry. If you look at https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/pull/7046/files, you see that no new compat entry was added for JSExpr.

So why would there be any warning? Unless I am misunderstanding, there is nothing to warn about.

This might actually belong the the JuliaRegistrator repo. There should be a warning in the resulting GitHub comment or PR even though it doesn't make it into the code changes of the PR itself.

I took another look at your Project.toml file. You have a compat entry for JSExpr. However, JSExpr is listed as a test-dependency. It is perfectly normal to have compat entries for test-dependencies. So I’m not sure Registrator would throw a warning either.

But information about test-dependencies is never put into the General registry.

So this all seems like the normal expected behavior.

Bleh you are indeed correct.

WebIO's tests are in general not great™ with lots of reverse dependencies.

Thanks for your time and I suppose this can be closed.
