[Bug]: Matplotlib 3.7 has yet again changed the class returned by plt.gca() #25228
Closed as not planned
Description
Bug summary
Hello,
It is the second time in 2.5 years that a Matplotlib release breaks all our doctests because plt.gca() returns a different type. It also happened around July 2020: colour-science/colour@d5f6800
There is no notice in the release notes and it is kind of wrecking havoc on our end. I will be using longer ellipsis from now on but I was wondering if you guys had considered using SemVER?
Code for reproduction
N/AActual outcome
Colour's doctests are sad! :(
Expected outcome
Happy doctests!
