<p>The same option can be set in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pytest.ini</span></code> file using the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">filterwarnings</span></code> ini option.
For example, the configuration below will ignore all user warnings, but will transform
all other warnings into errors.</p>
<div class="highlight-ini"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">[pytest]</span>

<p>When a warning matches more than one option in the list, the action for the last matching option
is performed.</p>
<p>Both <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">-W</span></code> command-line option and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">filterwarnings</span></code> ini option are based on Python's own
<a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html?highlight=#cmdoption-W">-W option</a> and <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/warnings.html#warnings.simplefilter">warnings.simplefilter</a>, so please refer to those sections in the Python
documentation for other examples and advanced usage.</p>

</div>
<p>You can use the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">&#64;pytest.mark.filterwarnings</span></code> to add warning filters to specific test items,
allowing you to have finer control of which warnings should be captured at test, class or
even module level:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">warnings</span>

</div>
<p>Filters applied using a mark take precedence over filters passed on the command line or configured
by the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">filterwarnings</span></code> ini option.</p>
<p>You may apply a filter to all tests of a class by using the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">filterwarnings</span></code> mark as a class
decorator or to all tests in a module by setting the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pytestmark</span></code> variable:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># turns all warnings into errors for this module</span>

<p>Both <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">recwarn</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">pytest.warns</span></code> return the same interface for recorded
warnings: a WarningsRecorder instance. To view the recorded warnings, you can
iterate over this instance, call <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">len</span></code> on it to get the number of recorded
warnings, or index into it to get a particular recorded warning. It also
provides these methods:</p>

<p>Each recorded warning has the attributes <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">message</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">category</span></code>,

The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">category</span></code> is the
