[red-knot] detect invalid return type (#16540)
## Summary This PR closes #16248. If the return type of the function isn't assignable to the one specified, an `invalid-return-type` error occurs. I thought it would be better to report this as a different kind of error than the `invalid-assignment` error, so I defined this as a new error. ## Test Plan All type inconsistencies in the test cases have been replaced with appropriate ones. --------- Co-authored-by: Carl Meyer <carl@astral.sh>

# Function return type
|
||||
|
||||
When a function's return type is annotated, all return statements are checked to ensure that the
|
||||
type of the returned value is assignable to the annotated return type. A `raise` is equivalent to a
|
||||
return of `Never`, which is assignable to any annotated return type.
|
||||
|
||||
## Basic examples
|
||||
|
||||
A return value assignable to the annotated return type is valid.
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
def f() -> int:
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The type of the value obtained by calling a function is the annotated return type, not the inferred
|
||||
return type.
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
reveal_type(f()) # revealed: int
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A `raise` is equivalent to a return of `Never`, which is assignable to any annotated return type.
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
def f() -> str:
|
||||
raise ValueError()
|
||||
|
||||
reveal_type(f()) # revealed: str
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Stub functions
|
||||
|
||||
"Stub" function definitions (that is, function definitions with an empty body) are permissible in
|
||||
stub files, or in a few other locations: Protocol method definitions, abstract methods, and
|
||||
overloads. In this case the function body is considered to be omitted (thus no return type checking
|
||||
is performed on it), not assumed to implicitly return `None`.
|
||||
|
||||
A stub function's "empty" body may contain only an optional docstring, followed (optionally) by an
|
||||
ellipsis (`...`) or `pass`.
|
||||
|
||||
### In stub file
|
||||
|
||||
```pyi
|
||||
def f() -> int: ...
|
||||
|
||||
def f() -> int:
|
||||
pass
|
||||
|
||||
def f() -> int:
|
||||
"""Some docstring"""
|
||||
|
||||
def f() -> int:
|
||||
"""Some docstring"""
|
||||
...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### In Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
from typing import Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
class Bar(Protocol):
|
||||
# TODO: no error
|
||||
# error: [invalid-return-type]
|
||||
def f(self) -> int: ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### In abstract method
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
|
||||
|
||||
class Foo(ABC):
|
||||
@abstractmethod
|
||||
# TODO: no error
|
||||
# error: [invalid-return-type]
|
||||
def f(self) -> int: ...
|
||||
@abstractmethod
|
||||
# error: [invalid-return-type]
|
||||
def g[T](self, x: T) -> T: ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### In overload
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
from typing import overload
|
||||
|
||||
@overload
|
||||
def f(x: int) -> int: ...
|
||||
@overload
|
||||
def f(x: str) -> str: ...
|
||||
def f(x: int | str):
|
||||
return x
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Conditional return type
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
def f(cond: bool) -> int:
|
||||
if cond:
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
else:
|
||||
return 2
|
||||
|
||||
def f(cond: bool) -> int | None:
|
||||
if cond:
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
else:
|
||||
return
|
||||
|
||||
def f(cond: bool) -> int:
|
||||
if cond:
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
else:
|
||||
raise ValueError()
|
||||
|
||||
def f(cond: bool) -> str | int:
|
||||
if cond:
|
||||
return "a"
|
||||
else:
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Implicit return type
|
||||
|
||||
```py
|
||||
def f(cond: bool) -> int | None:
|
||||
if cond:
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
|
||||
# no implicit return
|
||||
def f() -> int:
|
||||
if True:
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
|
||||
# no implicit return
|
||||
def f(cond: bool) -> int:
|
||||
cond = True
|
||||
if cond:
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
|
||||
def f(cond: bool) -> int:
|
||||
if cond:
|
||||
cond = True
|
||||
else:
|
||||
return 1
|
||||
if cond:
|
||||
return 2
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
