Struggling a ton with getting mypy to pick up types correctly. Here's a small example:
Copy code
@flow(name="start_pipeline")
async def start_pipeline_test(
    csv_path: str = "shopify/enroute/enroute_products.csv",
) -> None:
    path = Path(csv_path)
    products = await load_shopify_products_from_csv_task(path)
    for product in products[:10]:
        print(product)

@task(name="load_shopify_products_from_csv")
async def load_shopify_products_from_csv_task(
    path: Path,
) -> list[IShopifyProductCreateFromScrape]:
    products = await load_shopify_products_from_csv(file_path=path)
    return products
In the await line I get that
Incompatible types in "await" (actual type "None", expected type "Awaitable[Any]")
If i make the function sync instead:
Copy code
@task(name="load_shopify_products_from_csv")
def load_shopify_products_from_csv_task(
    path: Path,
) -> list[IShopifyProductCreateFromScrape]:
    products = syncify(load_shopify_products_from_csv)(file_path=path)
    return products
then when looping over the products I get
Value of type "None" is not indexable  [index]mypy(error)
(variable) products: list[IShopifyProductCreateFromScrape]
Which is interesting, since mypy can't infer the type but looks like pylance correctly sees that its supposed to be
list[IShopifyProductCreateFromScrape]
. I have a ton more issues like this in a relatively involved flow with a lot of steps and tasks, so I'm not keen on doing type: ignore on every line or a similar workaround. Please advise on how to make this work with mypy! async/await seems to be messing it up and the task decorator isn't transmitting the types correctly.

hi @Diego Escobedo - out of curiosity, for example on that
not indexable
error, is mypy happy if you add a check that its not
None
?
Copy code
@task(name="load_shopify_products_from_csv")
def load_shopify_products_from_csv_task(
    path: Path,
) -> list[IShopifyProductCreateFromScrape]:
    products = syncify(load_shopify_products_from_csv)(file_path=path)
    if products is None:
       raise ValueError("Products should be a `list[IShopifyProductCreateFromScrape]`, got `None`")
    return products

nope it can't even infer that list[IShopifyProductCreateFromScrape] was the return type, seems like the @task decorator obfuscates it for some reason
s
any chance there's a workaround or fix for this? Running into the same issue w/mypy not understanding task/flow return types
