Make `FunctionDef.implicit_parameters` return 1 for methods #1531

jacobtylerwalls · 2022-04-26T18:29:45Z

Description

When a node is inferred as FunctionDef instead of BoundMethod, implicit_parameters() always returns 0, which can cause problems in pylint with no-value-for-parameter and such. We can at least fall back to the knowledge that it is bound and return 1.

Closes pylint-dev/pylint#6464 (because we will not be writing Qt tests there)

Todo: see if this closes any other pylint issues for no-value-for-parameter

Relatedly, make `FunctionDef.is_bound` return True for instance methods.

@The-Compiler does this resolve the false positive for you?

I can't say I checked every one, but I checked multiple and this didn't seem to fix any.

Don't we want to force the c binding to work correctly in at least one of the CI pipeline ? Otherwise this test can work fine online and fail for someone with QT locally. I think we could create a pytest mark for "qt" and a CI job with a proper installation.

Yes, it works in the "release tests" workflow.

Hmm, it means we're going to catch issues at release time right ? When/how are we launching this workflow ?

Just manually with a reminder in the release.md.

Installing qt takes 39s. Unless there's a way to cache it?

For 40s we might as well add it for each commit (one interpreter only ?). There's a lot of available runner for astroid and they run in a reasonable time (compared to pylint anyway).

Actually, it takes 8s, duh, because most of that linked run was setting up the env!

I'm confused - why does "Install Qt" actually only do sudo apt-get install build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev? You are installing PyQt from binary wheels, so that 40s step can probably just be dropped entirely.

We discovered that the PyQt6 wheel doesn't necessarily install the C bindings on ubuntu-latest, see failing run and comment.

Realized that one job was skipped if QT6 was not properly installed.

@The-Compiler does this resolve the false positive for you?

Almost! It still complains on two lines compared to 2.13.7:

https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/6fc30a1e851dbc07461ba50d4266bbcae40e1fb1/qutebrowser/misc/throttle.py#L88

and

https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/6fc30a1e851dbc07461ba50d4266bbcae40e1fb1/tests/unit/config/test_configtypes.py#L226

The former sounds like pylint/astroid thinks a slot is needed for .disconnect(), but that's not the case, it can be called without one. I think that's a bug in the Qt brain here:

https://github.com/PyCQA/astroid/blob/8fda6c667a11050d36b267ded157933bbafb8290/astroid/brain/brain_qt.py#L30

(should be slot=None, same for PySide most likely).

The latter gives me too-many-function-args and is probably an unrelated false-positive regression.

jacobtylerwalls · 2022-04-28T12:44:06Z

Thanks for testing. Feel free to open new issues or PRs. Apparently slot is optional, but you cannot pass an explicit None, see python-qt-tools/PyQt5-stubs#103. I'm a little hesitant to show that slot=None is the default value in that case. See also pylint-dev/pylint#5264 for general weakness in this area.

* qt brain: Make slot argument optional for disconnect() Discussed here: #1531 (comment) PyQt supports calling .disconnect() without any arguments in order to disconnect all slots: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/static/Docs/PyQt6/signals_slots.html#disconnect Strictly speaking, slot=None is a wrong call, as actually passing None does not work: python-qt-tools/PyQt5-stubs#103 However, pylint/astroid does not support overloads needed to properly express this: pylint-dev/pylint#5264 So, while this is "wrong", it's less wrong than before - without this change, pylint expects a mandatory argument, thus raising a false-positive here: from PyQt5.QtCore import QTimer t = QTimer() t.timeout.connect(lambda: None) t.timeout.disconnect() despite running fine, pylint complains: test.py:4:0: E1120: No value for argument 'slot' in method call (no-value-for-parameter) while with this change, things work fine.
