Description

Bug Report

dmypy server restart if an option is changed, while it makes sense for most options, I don't think it make sense for --shadow-file.

If the sources to check used temporary files and --shadow-file to help mypy to understand where this temporary file comes.
dmypy server restart on each dmypy run because of the temporary file name change or the source to check change.

Expected Behavior

dmypy ignores --shadow-file when it compares Options.snapshot() between the client and the server. So mypy daemon stay warm.

Actual Behavior

dmypy server always returns {"restart": "configuration changed"} to the client and get retarted.

Your Environment

  • Mypy version used: 0.920
  • Mypy command-line flags: --shadow-file myfile.py tempfile myfile.py
  • Python version used: python 3.10
  • Operating system and version: arch

Research direction

Start by tracing dmypy’s comparison of client and server Options.snapshot() during dmypy run, focusing on how --shadow-file changes trigger the configuration-changed response. Confirm that changing temporary file names or source paths no longer restarts the daemon, while other option changes still do.
