I had to bump the minimum Wagtail version to 5.2 since older ones have reached EOL. Same for the Django versions

Hi @katdom13 This all looks good. Just one update looks like is needed on the Makefile

wagtail-django-recaptcha/Makefile

Line 29 in 81fa9f9

python ./tests/testapp/manage.py dumpdata --indent=4 -e contenttypes -e auth.permission -e auth.group -e sessions -e wagtailcore.site -e wagtailcore.pagerevision -e wagtailcore.grouppagepermission -e wagtailimages.rendition -e wagtailcore.collection -e wagtailcore.groupcollectionpermission > tests/testapp/fixtures/test_data.json

I noticed that running the update-test-fixture command failed and it was because the fixtures file is in a different location in the home app.

Also the fixtures end up with data that's new in wagtail but isn't excluded.

This should help with modernising it.

Thanks for the suggestion! Where did you get it?

HI @katdom13 Mostly from experience but I new about this here: https://docs.wagtail.org/en/v6.1/advanced_topics/testing.html#fixtures which leads you onto the Django docs.
When I fixed the folder for the dump file I noticed the differences between the original dump file and the new one and thought we wouldn't need the extra data I could see so excluded them until it matched what was in the old one.
