asserting deprecation and other warnings.
=====================================================
recwarn function argument
------------------------------------
You can use the ``recwarn`` funcarg to assert that code triggers
warnings through the Python warnings system. Here is a simple
self-contained test::
# content of test_recwarn.py
def test_hello(recwarn):
from warnings import warn
warn("hello", DeprecationWarning)
w = recwarn.pop(DeprecationWarning)
assert issubclass(w.category, DeprecationWarning)
assert 'hello' in str(w.message)
assert w.filename
assert w.lineno
The ``recwarn`` function argument provides these methods:
* ``pop(category=None)``: return last warning matching the category.
* ``clear()``: clear list of warnings
ensuring a function triggers a deprecation warning
-------------------------------------------------------
You can also call a global helper for checking
that a certain function call triggers a Deprecation
warning::
import pytest
def test_global():
pytest.deprecated_call(myfunction, 17)
