• Python Version: 3.10.12

• setuptools Version: 75.2.0

Hello, when I build this project from source some warnings occurred.
Hers is the output of the command colcon build:

Starting >>> urdfdom_py
/home/qiguanxiao/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/dist.py:261: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'tests_require'
  warnings.warn(msg)
--- stderr: urdfdom_py                   
/home/qiguanxiao/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/dist.py:261: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'tests_require'
  warnings.warn(msg)

Finished <<< urdfdom_py [1.30s]

This warning shows the tests_require option is expired. But the python and setuptools are default package with the ubuntu22.04.

And then I use colcon test to test this project, there were also some warnings.
Here is the output about the command colcon test:

Starting >>> urdfdom_py
/home/qiguanxiao/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/dist.py:261: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'tests_require'
  warnings.warn(msg)

It seems like that there were no python testing programs to run and no result file pytest.xml was generated in build directory.

Then I tried to modify the setup.py file in packages and replaced the option tests_require with extras_require.

Finally these packages can be built and test correctly.

Here is the modified content in setpu.py file:

tests_require=['pytest'], # remove
    extras_require={
        'test': ['pytest'],
    }, # add

Now the python and setuptools version are updated very quickly, could you tell me if it is necessary to modify it to adapt to the current environment.

Thanks!
