mcov

Minimum compatible Open Policy Agent (OPA) version, or mcov for short, is a tiny tool that, as the name implies, reports the minimum compatible OPA version for any given Rego files you point it at. This can be used to:

• Ensure that your policies are compatible with the OPA version you are running in production
• Check the impact on version requirements for any given change to policy
• That's it! There's literally nothing more to see

Usage

$ mcov policies/
v0.37.0

Caveats

Note that not all features of Rego that have been added over time — or changes made to existing ones — are possible to track using capabilities alone. Use the version reported by mcov as a starting point — not as a replacement for testing compatibility!
