October 14-20, 2024 in Darker: Formatter plugins and test improvements

[github-actions[bot]]

This week, we made significant progress on our formatter plugin system. We continued work on adding support for Ruff as a code formatter (PR #744), implementing numerous changes and tests. Similarly, work continued on the pyupgrade formatter plugin (PR #755), which addresses the long-standing idea from issue #51. Both PRs are awaiting review and merge of their dependencies before they can be finalized.

A new issue (#758) was opened to discuss supporting ruff check --fix as a formatter, which presents some challenges due to its AST-modifying nature. This sparked a conversation about potential strategies to handle such cases, including the possibility of applying fixes selectively or modifying entire files when intersecting with user changes.

On the testing front, we started work on speeding up parameterized tests that use Git by utilizing a new module-scoped Git repository fixture from Darkgraylib (PR #761). We also made a small fix to only log flynt results when the --flynt option is enabled (PR #760).
