_request_builder.py DeprecationWarning: This class is deprecated. Please use the generic RequestConfiguration class generated by the generator

[drernie]

Describe the bug

Maybe not an actual bug, but every time I use a _request_builder I get a warning like:

:943: DeprecationWarning: This class is deprecated. Please use the generic RequestConfiguration class generated by the generator

It appears I can use:

from kiota_abstractions.base_request_configuration import RequestConfiguration

But there doesn't seem to be any other way to get the RequestBuilderGetQueryParameters class other than by instantiating the specific version, e.g. UserItemRequestBuilder.UserItemRequestBuilderGetQueryParameters.

Expected behavior

Either:

1. No deprecation warning
2. A code change I can make to avoid that deprecation warning
3. A clear signal that this is an underlying library issue that is not my fault

How to reproduce

FYI, I discovered I could reduce (but not quite eliminate) the warnings by getting the classes from the "client" rather than importing them manually, e.g.:

        query_params = self.client.me.UserItemRequestBuilderGetQueryParameters(
            select=["displayName", "mail", "userPrincipalName"]
        )

        request_config = RequestConfiguration(query_parameters=query_params)

Now I only get 5 (versus 7) warnings. The remainder feels more like a wart in the underlying code generation, than a bug in mine, so I won't spend any more time on this unless you have questions.

Yep, this is annoying me too.

[shemogumbe]

Hello @drernie and @shaneseaton Thanks for using the SDK and for raising this.

These changes occured during the move from V1.3.0 to V1.4.0

Part of the reason was to help with code quantity reduction and help us use more abstract classes for ease of customization.

The PR on this is microsoft/kiota#4578

Note that you can use both the RequestBuilderConfiguration though deprecated, or the custome abstraction class as show in the PR.

Simply just importing one of the class request builders is enough to trigger these warnings.

python -Wd -c "from msgraph.generated.education.classes.classes_request_builder import ClassesRequestBuilder" will output 3 different deprecation warnings, even though they're not being called directly.

This is because the warnings are in the class scope, so will be ran at "compile" time.
Changing the first example to the second will only warn when the dataclass is instantiated.

# kiota_abstractions.default_query_parameters.py
@dataclass
class GetQueryParameters(QueryParameters):
    """
    Default placeholder class for query parameters.
    """
    warn("GetQueryParameters is deprecated. Use QueryParameters instead.", DeprecationWarning)

# kiota_abstractions.default_query_parameters.py
@dataclass
class GetQueryParameters(QueryParameters):
    """
    Default placeholder class for query parameters.
    """
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        warn("GetQueryParameters is deprecated. Use QueryParameters instead.", DeprecationWarning)
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Hi @shemogumbe can we reopen this issue, or should I create a new one?
