It is a common mistake to think this parameter will match the exception message, while in fact
|
||||
it only serves to provide a custom message in case the ``pytest.raises`` check fails. To avoid this
|
||||
mistake and because it is believed to be little used, pytest is deprecating it without providing
|
||||
an alternative for the moment.

|

If you have a valid use case for this parameter, consider that to obtain the same results
|
||||
you can just call ``pytest.fail`` manually at the end of the ``with`` statement.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
with pytest.raises(TimeoutError, message="Client got unexpected message"):
|
||||
wait_for(websocket.recv(), 0.5)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Becomes:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: python
|
||||
|
||||
with pytest.raises(TimeoutError):
|
||||
wait_for(websocket.recv(), 0.5)
|
||||
pytest.fail("Client got unexpected message")
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
If you still have concerns about this deprecation and future removal, please comment on
