test_ok2/changelog/3191.feature.rst

A warning is now issued when assertions are made for ``None``.

This is a common source of confusion among new users, which write:

.. code-block:: python

    assert mocked_object.assert_called_with(3, 4, 5, key="value")

When they should write:

.. code-block:: python

    mocked_object.assert_called_with(3, 4, 5, key="value")

Because the ``assert_called_with`` method of mock objects already executes an assertion.

This warning will not be issued when ``None`` is explicitly checked. An assertion like:

.. code-block:: python

    assert variable is None

will not issue the warning.
