Testing deprecated code
 
715
-----------------------
 
716
 
 
717
When code is deprecated, it is still supported for some length of time,
 
718
usually until the next major version. The ``applyDeprecated`` helper
 
719
wraps calls to deprecated code to verify that it is correctly issuing the
 
720
deprecation warning, and also prevents the warnings from being printed
 
721
during test runs.
 
722
 
 
723
Typically patches that apply the ``@deprecated_function`` decorator should
 
724
update the accompanying tests to use the ``applyDeprecated`` wrapper.
 
725
 
 
726
``applyDeprecated`` is defined in ``bzrlib.tests.TestCase``. See the API
 
727
docs for more details.
