nosetest deprecation warnings

I am getting deprecation warnings from nosetest for 3rd party modules imported by my code.

Does anybody know how to silence these warnings?

I know of the following flag which works for arbitrary python runs of the same code: 

 python -W ignore::DeprecationWarning

But, calling nosetest does not appear to offer me a similar flag to prevent the warnings from appearing within the test reports.

Solution

  • Put 

    import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore', category=DeprecationWarning)

    at the start of your test script, before you import any problematic libraries.
