Versions in BotConfig and SnoopCompile.yml

[daschw]

In the docs it is highlighted that the versions specified in SnoopCompile.yml have to match the versions in BotConfig. In the .yml file I can use the versions

      matrix:
        version:   # NOTE: the versions below should match those in your botconfig
          - '1'
          - '1.3'
          - 'nightly'

where (I think) '1' corresponds to '1.4.2' and '1.3' to '1.3.1'.
However:

julia> BotConfig("Plots", version = ["1", "1.3", "nightly"]).version
3-element Array{VersionNumber,1}:
 v"1.0.0"
 v"1.3.0"
 v"1.6.0-DEV"

Does this mean I have to set the versions to 1.3.1 and 1.4.2 in both (or only BotConfig respectively) and update the versions manually with new julia releases, or is there another way to do this?

This is the default behavior of VersionNumber.

julia> VersionNumber("1")
v"1.0.0"

If we want v"1" to mean something else we need to check for that online (to be compatible with what julia-setup infers as "1").

@timholy What do you think here?

I would agree that we should be consistent with the interpretation in the .yml file.

@SaschaMann how do you find what v"1" stands for in setup-julia?

@aminya https://github.com/julia-actions/setup-julia#julia-versions - '1' refers to the latest stable Julia version starting with 1.. At the moment that would be 1.4.2
