Description
Bug Report
mypy has trouble inferring the type of generic attributes in match statements when inheritance is involved.
This issue was encountered while investigating #13612
To Reproduce
from typing import Generic, TypeVar
T = TypeVar("T")
class Base(Generic[T]):
...
class A(Base[T]):
x: T
__match_args__ = ('x', )
def __init__(self, x: T):
self.x = x
a: Base[str] = A("foo")
reveal_type(a) # Base[str] (correct)
match a:
case A(b):
reveal_type(b) # Any (incorrect! Should be builtins.str)
Expected Behavior
The attribute on the last line above is revealed to be str
Actual Behavior
It is revealed to be Any
