Description
from dataclasses import dataclass, fields, FrozenInstanceError
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class A:
a: int = 1
b = 1
@property
def c(self):
return 1
@c.setter
def c(self, value):
print("suspect")
a = A()
print("fields:", list(field.name for field in fields(a)))
try:
a.a = 2
except FrozenInstanceError as e:
print(e)
try:
a.b = 2
except FrozenInstanceError as e:
print(e)
try:
a.c = 2
except FrozenInstanceError as e:
print(e)
👉 python test.py
fields: ['a']
cannot assign to field 'a'
cannot assign to field 'b'
cannot assign to field 'c'
a is the only field on this class, yet the other attribute and property have the same immutability rules applied to them, and c doesn't even mutate anything.
At the very least, the error message is wrong as these other members aren't fields.
