Python warnings filter is not hiding this DeprecationWarning

Even when switching to mstrio.project_objects.dashboard it still shows deprecation warning and ignoring it doesn't work

$ pip install -Uq mstrio-py
$ export PYTHONWARNINGS='ignore:mstrio.project_objects.dossier module is deprecated:DeprecationWarning'
$ python3 -c 'from mstrio.project_objects import dashboard'
DeprecationWarning: mstrio.project_objects.dossier module is deprecated and will not be supported starting from mstrio-py 11.5.03. Please use mstrio.project_objects.dashboard instead.
$ python3 -W "ignore:mstrio.project_objects.dossier module is deprecated:DeprecationWarning" -c "from mstrio.project_objects import dashboard"
DeprecationWarning: mstrio.project_objects.dossier module is deprecated and will not be supported starting from mstrio-py 11.5.03. Please use mstrio.project_objects.dashboard instead.

Guarding the import using a context manager doesn't work either

>>> import warnings
>>> with warnings.catch_warnings():
...     warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", message=".*mstrio.project_objects.dossier module is deprecated.*")
...     from mstrio.project_objects import dashboard
... 
DeprecationWarning: mstrio.project_objects.dossier module is deprecated and will not be supported starting from mstrio-py 11.5.03. Please use mstrio.project_objects.dashboard instead.

Why doesn't it go away? How to avoid this deprecation warning?

This is latest mstrio-py i.e. 11.4.3.101.

Solution

  • mstrio overrides your warning filter:

    warnings.filterwarnings(action=print_warnings, module=module_path)
warnings.filterwarnings(
    action=print_warnings, category=DeprecationWarning, module=module_path
)
warnings.filterwarnings(action='default', category=UserWarning, module=module_path)

    It also monkey-patches the warning formatter, which is why your warning message doesn't look like it normally would:

    def custom_formatwarning(msg, category, *args, **kwargs):
    # ignore everything except the message
    return str(category.__name__) + ': ' + str(msg) + '\n'


warnings.formatwarning = custom_formatwarning

    There's a lot of stuff in that file that this package really shouldn't be doing. Your best option may be to raise an issue with MicroStrategy and ask them to change this.
