**A note about the `dev-dependencies` section**
**A note about defining a `dev` dependencies group**

Any dependency declared in the `dev-dependencies` section will automatically be added to a `dev` group.
So the two following notations are equivalent:
The proper way to define a `dev` dependencies group since Poetry 1.2.0 is the following:

```toml
[tool.poetry.dev-dependencies]
[tool.poetry.group.dev.dependencies]
pytest = "^6.0.0"
pytest-mock = "*"
```

This group notation is preferred since Poetry 1.2.0 and not usable in earlier versions.
For backwards compatibility with older versions of Poetry,
any dependency declared in the `dev-dependencies` section will automatically be added to the `dev` group.
So the above and following notations are equivalent:

```toml
[tool.poetry.group.dev.dependencies]
# Poetry pre-1.2.x style, understood by Poetry 1.0–1.2
[tool.poetry.dev-dependencies]
pytest = "^6.0.0"
pytest-mock = "*"
```
