Resolving deprecation warnings
==============================
Before upgrading, it's a good idea to resolve any deprecation warnings raised
by your project while using your current version of Django. Fixing these
warnings before upgrading ensures that you're informed about areas of the code
that need altering.
In Python, deprecation warnings are silenced by default. You must turn them on
using the ``-Wall`` Python command line option or the :envvar:`PYTHONWARNINGS`
environment variable. For example, to show warnings while running tests:
.. code-block:: console
$ python -Wall manage.py test
If you're not using the Django test runner, you may need to also ensure that
any console output is not captured which would hide deprecation warnings. For
example, if you use `py.test`:
.. code-block:: console
$ PYTHONWARNINGS=all py.test tests --capture=no
Resolve any deprecation warnings with your current version of Django before
continuing the upgrade process.
Third party applications might use deprecated APIs in order to support multiple
versions of Django, so deprecation warnings in packages you've installed don't
necessarily indicate a problem. If a package doesn't support the latest version
of Django, consider raising an issue or sending a pull request for it.
