Bug Report
When using a mapping with an Optional
value type, accessing a value using a variable key instead of a literal key prevents a None
check from working properly.
To Reproduce
- Put the following code in
test.py
:
from typing import Mapping, Optional
FOO: str = "foo"
def func(text: str) -> None:
_ = text
data: Mapping[str, Optional[str]] = {FOO: "bar"}
if data[FOO] is not None:
func(data[FOO]) # Line 11
if data["foo"] is not None:
func(data["foo"])
- Run
mypy test.py
Expected Behavior
mypy should not output any errors. As the above example shows, using a string literal instead of a variable containing a string does not cause any errors, even though the code is otherwise identical. The "Optional types and the None type" section of the documents says "supported checks for guarding against a None
value include if x is not None
", so this code should work.
Actual Behavior
mypy outputs the following:
test.py:11: error: Argument 1 to "func" has incompatible type "Optional[str]"; expected "str" [arg-type]
