The '${f.__name__}' method is deprecated and may be removed

Error message

The '${f.__name__}' method is deprecated and may be removed in the future. Consider ${in_favor_of}

What it means

Python DeprecationWarning emitted by the deprecate() decorator's wrapper in wmill's generated client: the called method is on its way out. The call still executes normally; the warning (once per warnings-filter policy) points to the replacement named in in_favor_of.
