`render_shapes()` got an unexpected keyword argument 'outline'

[LucaMarconato]

Report

Apparently the argument outline of render_shapes() got removed. I replacement the code that calls outline=True with outline_alpha=1.0.
To reproduce please run notebook_labels_shapes_interchangeability from spatialdata-notebooks.

Some notebooks started failing with this error:

- Cell In[5], line 1
INFO - ----> 1 sdata.pl.render_labels().pl.render_shapes("vectorized", outline=True, fill_alpha=0).pl.show()
INFO - 
INFO - File ~/embl/projects/basel/spatialdata-integration-testing/dependencies/spatialdata/src/spatialdata/_utils.py:278, in _deprecation_alias.<locals>.deprecation_decorator.<locals>.wrapper(*args, **kwargs)

INFO - --> 278 return f(*args, **kwargs)
INFO - 
INFO - TypeError: PlotAccessor.render_shapes() got an unexpected keyword argument 'outline'

It looks like that an argument changed in render_shapes(). If this is the case, I suggest to keep the previous argument and throw a deprecation warning. The decorator from spatialdata._utils import _deprecation_alias (@ilia-kats, do we have something like this in scverse-misc?) can be used for this.

Note: the session_info output seems very short. If you can't reproduce please let me know and I'll dig more into this to create a MRE.

do we have something like this in scverse-misc

The parameter is gone since August 2024 👀 It might only now be surfacing because I removed the **kwargs, so before it was just silently accepted but not evaluated.
