Bug Report
this seems to be a special case for @property
but probably shouldn't be
a settable instance @property
currently is allowed to override a ClassVar
but I believe it should produce a diagnostic
To Reproduce
from typing import ClassVar
class C:
u: ClassVar[str]
class D(C):
u: str
class E(C):
@property
def u(self) -> str: return ''
@u.setter
def u(self, s: str) -> None: ...
Expected Behavior
I expect both D
and E
to produce errors (cannot override ClassVar
with instance variable)
Actual Behavior
but only D
does
$ mypy t2.py
t2.py:7: error: Cannot override class variable (previously declared on base class "C") with instance variable [misc]
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
interestingly enough, if you leave out the setter it does produce a diagnostic -- so I suspect this should be an easy patch to that particular codepath:
