No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the reported error with the shown stub and Enum definition, then inspect how mypy handles Enum members named name and determine the expected behavior for autogenerated stubs.

Description

bug false-positive needs discussion priority-1-normal topic-enum

This is my stub file which I can control.

    class Type(enum.Enum):
        EMPTY = ...
        name = ...       <<<<<<<<
        datasetConfig = ...
        value: int

error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "ellipsis", base class "Enum" defined the type as "str")

The enum is defined as

class Type(enum.Enum):
    EMPTY = 0
    name = 1
    datasetConfig = 2

This is autogenerated code and I don't have control over the enum field names, is there some way for me to have a working stub for this code?
