How to remove DeprecationWarning: desired_capabilities has been deprecated

[jay0129]

The problem

Code:
self.driver = webdriver.Remote(self.hub_url, self.caps, keep_alive=False)

Error:
/Users/user/.pyenv/versions/3.7.10/lib/python3.7/site-packages/appium/webdriver/webdriver.py:274: DeprecationWarning: desired_capabilities has been deprecated, please pass in an Options object with options kwarg

Environment

• Appium: 1.22.2
• Appium-Python-Client: 2.1.2
• Host machine: OSX

Perhaps #640 is the final fix.

Handling built-in warning as https://docs.python.org/3/library/warnings.html could be a workaround.

@KazuCocoa , I tested on the latest version which is 2.1.2, but it still has the warning problem.

The #640 is an open issue.

Did you try the below before calling a new session request as the above link of warnings?

import warnings
warnings.simplefilter("ignore")

[jay0129]

Ok.
I just suppress the warning as for now. Thank you for your support!

 with warnings.catch_warnings():
            warnings.filterwarnings("ignore", category=DeprecationWarning)
            self.driver = webdriver.Remote(self.hub_url, self.caps, keep_alive=False)

My solution is to add this in my pytest.ini file.
pytest.ini

[pytest]
filterwarnings = 
    # Appium team is aware of deprecation warning - https://github.com/appium/python-client/issues/680
    ignore::DeprecationWarning
