Since new mypy versions frequently break old versions, this check is a
useful way to help prevent problems where mypy output is wrong.
We could probably tighten this by checking explicitly the expected
mypy version from requirements.txt, but that's work.
Replaces #5026.
This commit adds mypy annotations for both the main
bots and the bots testing runner. It involves a change
to the BotHandlerApi send_message and update_message
funtions, which is compatible with every bot.
Tweaked by tabbott to use more expressive annotations.
This helps make the Zulip development environment somewhat more robust
to new contributors, since it will give them a nice warning if they
try running any of our development tools outside the Zulip virtualenv.
Fixes#3468.
This required instead exempting these files:
bots/jabber_mirror_backend.py
tools/deprecated/iframe-bot/show-last-messages
Turning on mypy for the API exposes issues in the annotations
of other files.
The old "zulip_internal" name was from back when Zulip, Inc. had two
distributions of Zulip, the enterprise distribution in puppet/zulip/
and the "internal" SAAS distribution in puppet/zulip_internal. I
think the name is a bit confusing in the new fully open-source Zulip
work, so we're replacing it with "zulip_ops". I don't think the new
name is perfect, but it's better.
In the following commits, we'll delete a bunch of pieces of Zulip,
Inc.'s infrastructure that don't exist anymore and thus are no longer
useful (e.g. the old Trac configuration), with the goal of cleaning
the repository of as much unnecessary content as possible.
Previously, we checked scripts in a separate run to work around mypy
not supporting multiple scripts with the same name. Since we have
fixed that issue, we can restore the original behavior.
We leave the --scripts-only option available, though I'm not sure it's
particularly useful and we'll probably eventually remove it.
We're now at the point where 100% of functions checked by mypy is
fully annotated; to avoid regressions, we're enforcing the requirement
that it stay this way. We still have a moderate amount of code that
is neither checked by mypy nor annotated, but it seems reasonable to
annotate that code at the same time as we get a chance to fix the mypy
issues in it.
This is implemented by using the --disallow-untyped-defs option in
mypy by default.
