Asserting Warnings

|
||||
Asserting warnings with the warns function
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
.. versionadded:: 2.8
|
||||
|
||||
You can check that code raises a particular warning using ``pytest.warns``,
|
||||
which works in a similar manner to :ref:`raises <assertraises>`::
|
||||
|
||||
import warnings
|
||||
import pytest
|
||||
|
||||
def test_warning():
|
||||
with pytest.warns(UserWarning):
|
||||
warnings.warn("my warning", UserWarning)
|
||||
|
||||
The test will fail if the warning in question is not raised.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also call ``pytest.warns`` on a function or code string::
|
||||
|
||||
pytest.warns(expected_warning, func, *args, **kwargs)
|
||||
pytest.warns(expected_warning, "func(*args, **kwargs)")
|
||||
|
||||
The function also returns a list of all raised warnings (as
|
||||
``warnings.WarningMessage`` objects), which you can query for
|
||||
additional information::
|
||||
|
||||
with pytest.warns(RuntimeWarning) as record:
|
||||
warnings.warn("another warning", RuntimeWarning)
|
||||
|
||||
# check that only one warning was raised
|
||||
assert len(record) == 1
|
||||
# check that the message matches
|
||||
assert record[0].message.args[0] == "another warning"
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can examine raised warnings in detail using the
|
||||
:ref:`recwarn <recwarn>` fixture (see below).
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
``DeprecationWarning`` and ``PendingDeprecationWarning`` are treated
|
||||
differently; see :ref:`ensuring_function_triggers`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _`recording warnings`:
|
||||
|
||||
.. _recwarn:
|
||||
|
||||
Recording warnings
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can record raised warnings either using ``pytest.warns`` or with
|
||||
the ``recwarn`` fixture.
|
||||
|
||||
To record with ``pytest.warns`` without asserting anything about the warnings,
|
||||
pass ``None`` as the expected warning type::
|
||||
|
||||
with pytest.warns(None) as record:
|
||||
warnings.warn("user", UserWarning)
|
||||
warnings.warn("runtime", RuntimeWarning)
|
||||
|
||||
assert len(record) == 2
|
||||
assert str(record[0].message) == "user"
|
||||
assert str(record[1].message) == "runtime"
|
||||
|
||||
The ``recwarn`` fixture will record warnings for the whole function::
|
||||
|
||||
import warnings
|
||||
|
||||
def test_hello(recwarn):
|
||||
warnings.warn("hello", UserWarning)
|
||||
assert len(recwarn) == 1
|
||||
w = recwarn.pop(UserWarning)
|
||||
assert issubclass(w.category, UserWarning)
|
||||
assert str(w.message) == "hello"
|
||||
assert w.filename
|
||||
assert w.lineno
|
||||
|
||||
Both ``recwarn`` and ``pytest.warns`` return the same interface for recorded
|
||||
warnings: a WarningsRecorder instance. To view the recorded warnings, you can
|
||||
iterate over this instance, call ``len`` on it to get the number of recorded
|
||||
warnings, or index into it to get a particular recorded warning. It also
|
||||
provides these methods:
|
||||
|
||||
.. autoclass:: _pytest.recwarn.WarningsRecorder()
|
||||
:members:
|
||||
|
||||
Each recorded warning has the attributes ``message``, ``category``,
|
||||
``filename``, ``lineno``, ``file``, and ``line``. The ``category`` is the
|
||||
class of the warning. The ``message`` is the warning itself; calling
|
||||
``str(message)`` will return the actual message of the warning.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
:class:`RecordedWarning` was changed from a plain class to a namedtuple in pytest 3.1
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
``DeprecationWarning`` and ``PendingDeprecationWarning`` are treated
|
||||
differently; see :ref:`ensuring_function_triggers`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _`ensuring a function triggers a deprecation warning`:
|
||||
|
||||
.. _ensuring_function_triggers:
|
||||
|
||||
Ensuring a function triggers a deprecation warning
|
||||
-------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can also call a global helper for checking
|
||||
that a certain function call triggers a ``DeprecationWarning`` or
|
||||
``PendingDeprecationWarning``::
|
||||
|
||||
import pytest
|
||||
|
||||
def test_global():
|
||||
pytest.deprecated_call(myfunction, 17)
|
||||
|
||||
By default, ``DeprecationWarning`` and ``PendingDeprecationWarning`` will not be
|
||||
caught when using ``pytest.warns`` or ``recwarn`` because default Python warnings filters hide
|
||||
them. If you wish to record them in your own code, use the
|
||||
command ``warnings.simplefilter('always')``::
|
||||
|
||||
import warnings
|
||||
import pytest
|
||||
|
||||
def test_deprecation(recwarn):
|
||||
warnings.simplefilter('always')
|
||||
warnings.warn("deprecated", DeprecationWarning)
|
||||
assert len(recwarn) == 1
|
||||
assert recwarn.pop(DeprecationWarning)
|
||||
|
||||
You can also use it as a contextmanager::
|
||||
|
||||
def test_global():
|
||||
with pytest.deprecated_call():
|
||||
myobject.deprecated_method()
