Description
Bug Report
To Reproduce
Content of tmp.py
from typing import Callable, TypeVar
C = TypeVar('C', bound=Callable)
def dec(val: None) -> Callable[[C], C]:
def wrapper(f):
return f
return wrapper
# E: Cannot determine type of "foo" [has-type]
lambda: foo() == 2
@dec(None)
def foo() -> int:
return 2
foo() == 2 # this one is fine
Running mypy:
$ mypy --config-file='' tmp.py
tmp.py:13: error: Cannot determine type of "foo"

Research direction
Reproduce the report with the tmp.py example using mypy --config-file='' tmp.py, then trace how the decorator and lambda are type-checked. The fix is complete when the has-type error for foo no longer appears while the valid foo() == 2 check remains correct.
