📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe FastEmbed warning filter now covers multilingual E5 and MiniLM model warnings. A subprocess test verifies that importing the embeddings module suppresses the MiniLM pooling warning without stderr output. ChangesEmbedding warning filter

FastEmbed release notes 0.6.0 0.7.1 pooling multilingual-e5-large paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2 warning
💡 Result:
In FastEmbed, a warning was introduced for several models, including intfloat/multilingual-e5-large and sentence-transformers/paraphrase-multilingual-MiniLM-L12-v2, to notify users that the pooling method for these models was updated from CLS embedding to mean pooling [1]. This warning advises users that if they wish to maintain the previous behavior (CLS pooling), they should either pin their FastEmbed version to 0.5.1 or use the library's add_custom_model functionality to explicitly define the preferred pooling method [1][2]. Regarding the versions mentioned: - FastEmbed v0.6.0 included updates related to warnings and preprocessing [3]. - FastEmbed v0.7.1 focused on refinements such as fixing a check for lowercase model names regarding warnings and ensuring that incorrect pooling configurations in custom models raise an exception [4]. The shift to mean pooling reflects standard expectations for these models to ensure performance consistency [1][5][6]. If you are encountering this warning, you are being alerted to a change in how your embeddings are calculated compared to earlier versions of the library [1].

Correct the FastEmbed version in the comment.
FastEmbed introduced this warning in 0.6.0, and the locked 0.8.0 version emits the message matched by this filter. The >=0.3.0 lower bound does not break the filter because older versions do not emit the warning. Change fastembed >=0.7 to fastembed >=0.6.

Cover both model branches and the warning-category boundary.
This subprocess tests only the MiniLM UserWarning. It does not exercise the multilingual-e5-large alternative in Line [37] through Line [38]. It also does not prove that a matching warning with another category remains visible. Add a second matching UserWarning and a visible non-UserWarning control. Assert that both expected warnings are absent and the control warning is present.
As per path instructions, tests/** requires a single comprehensive pass with meaningful edge-case assertions and grouped suggestions for related test files.

Thanks for the narrow suppression. The production change is correct, but the regression currently turns unrelated stderr output into a failure: Python 3.11 emits an ONNX Runtime PCI-discovery line, while Could you please make one focused follow-up batch?

The suppression itself is fine. The test asserting it is over-specified, and that is the whole failure. One line fixes it.
What is actually failing
assert result.stderr == "" demands a completely silent stderr. On GitHub runners onnxruntime emits an unrelated warning before anything of ours runs:
[W:onnxruntime:Default, device_discovery.cc:134 GetPciBusId] Skipping pci_bus_id
for PCI path at "/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/ACPI0004:00/MSFT1000:00/..."
because filename "..." did not match expected pattern of [0-9a-f]+:[0-9a-f]+:...
That is the runner's Hyper-V PCI topology (MSFT1000), which onnxruntime cannot parse into a bus id. Nothing to do with FastEmbed mean pooling, and nothing this PR causes. The rest of the run is clean: 1 failed, 3417 passed.
It passes on my machine because a real PCI path parses fine, and fails on CI because a virtualised one does not. Any assertion of the form "stderr is empty" will keep finding new ways to be false as onnxruntime adds diagnostics.
The fix
Assert the absence of the warning you are actually suppressing, not the absence of all output:
assert "mean pooling" not in result.stderr # or the exact marker stringThat still fails loudly if the suppression regresses, and stops failing when an unrelated component talks to stderr.
Worth knowing
This is the same family as #850, blkid: not found from onnxruntime on minimal Linux, filed by @dplush from the 4.0.0b1 canary. Two different environments, two different unparseable-hardware complaints, both from onnxruntime, both landing on stderr. If #850 ends up suppressing that one, the two probably want the same mechanism rather than separate patches, and this test would be the natural place to assert both are gone.
I also updated this branch from main before re-running, since its last run predated the CI hang fix in #867 by ten days. That was not the cause; the failure reproduces on current main.
