Description
Bug Report
mypy crashes on the example below instead of showing an error or not showing anything.
Encountered today while refactoring a pretty big codebase. Made an accidental mistake, hence the @dataclass(frozen=True)(kw_only=True), but the way Mypy fails won't allow me to find the culprit. I couldn't find a way to debug what was causing an error (--pdb option didn't work for me).
To Reproduce
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass(frozen=True)(kw_only=True)
class Foo:
bar: str
Gist URL: https://gist.github.com/mypy-play/5b29c7aec29cbab55262d61d8c440ef3
Playground URL: https://mypy-play.net/?mypy=latest&python=3.11&gist=5b29c7aec29cbab55262d61d8c440ef3
Expected Behavior
Correctly identified error in the code, or at least no crash
Actual Behavior
mypy mypy_bug.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

Your Environment
- Mypy version used: 1.5.1 (also tried most recent from git, same)
- Mypy command-line flags: None
- Mypy configuration options from
mypy.ini(and other config files): None - Python version used: 3.11.5

Research direction
Reproduce the crash with the dataclass example and start in mypy/plugins/dataclasses.py, especially dataclass_class_maker_callback and _get_transform_spec from the traceback. Check how the malformed @dataclass(frozen=True)(kw_only=True) is handled; done means mypy reports an error or completes without an AssertionError.
