DeprecationWarning: datetime.datetime.utcnow() on version 1.3.48 (using python 3.12)

[rui1610]

Description

When running terraform_compliance 1.3.48 with python 3.12 I'm getting multiple DeprecationWarnings on the usage of datetime.datetime.utcnow().

Although terraform_compliance still works, this makes it difficult to read the output.

To Reproduce

Just run terraform_compliance with any feature file on python 3.12

Feature File:

Given I have ....
When it contains ...
Then it must ....
And it must ...

Plan File:

Sample Terraform Code:

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "example_code" {
   bucket = "This is just a sample code"
}

Used terraform-compliance Parameters:

Running via Docker:

Yes

Error Output:

. Converting terraform plan file.

[eerkunt]

Sorry for this guys, let me update it.

[eerkunt]

Just released 1.3.49b1, have a try and let me know if you are still having problems, based on your response, I'll remove beta.

I seem to still be seeing the same warnings on the beta (Python 3.12):

Use timezone-aware objects to represent datetimes in UTC: datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC).
  feature.endtime = datetime.utcnow()

If it helps anyone we have been able to suppress the errors by using/pinning Python 3.11 (based on the versions tested in the GitHub Actions pipelines) locally via pyenv and within our CICD by setting the Python version. This allows us to use new versions of terraform-compliance without the warnings.

[davidjeddy]

We are unable to pin due to compliance and security policies. When a new minor version of a language is published we are pushed to update as quickly as possible.
