Stuck on an issue?

pytest should be overriding the interpreter's default warnings filter

See original GitHub issue

When DeprecationWarning was hidden by default, the expectation was that 3rd party test runners would follow the unittest module’s lead and re-enable them when running tests (see https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/2.7.html#changes-to-the-handling-of-deprecation-warnings and and https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#unittest.TextTestRunner)

This currently isn’t the case for pytest - it requires developers to explicitly opt-in to seeing deprecation warnings, rather than requiring them to opt-out the way unittest does.

Thanks @ncoghlan for the feedback!

Our intention is to do that when we refactor the warnings system. We had a few discussions about this but I can’t find them in the issue tracker right now, I will see if I can find them tomorrow.
