<h2>The recwarn function argument<a class="headerlink" href="#the-recwarn-function-argument" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>You can use the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">recwarn</span></tt> funcarg to assert that code triggers
warnings through the Python warnings system. Here is a simple
self-contained test:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="c"># content of test_recwarn.py</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">test_hello</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">recwarn</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">warnings</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">warn</span>
<span class="n">warn</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">"hello"</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="ne">DeprecationWarning</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="n">w</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">recwarn</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">pop</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="ne">DeprecationWarning</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="k">assert</span> <span class="nb">issubclass</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">w</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">category</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="ne">DeprecationWarning</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="k">assert</span> <span class="s">'hello'</span> <span class="ow">in</span> <span class="nb">str</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">w</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">message</span><span class="p">)</span>
<span class="k">assert</span> <span class="n">w</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">filename</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">recwarn</span></tt> function argument provides these methods:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pop(category=None)</span></tt>: return last warning matching the category.</li>
<li><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">clear()</span></tt>: clear list of warnings</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="ensuring-a-function-triggers-a-deprecation-warning">
<h2>Ensuring a function triggers a deprecation warning<a class="headerlink" href="#ensuring-a-function-triggers-a-deprecation-warning" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>You can also call a global helper for checking
that a certain function call triggers a Deprecation
warning:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">pytest</span>
<span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">test_global</span><span class="p">():</span>
