Getting Started with Type Checking
A static type checker like pyright can add incremental value to your source code as more type information is provided.
Here is a typical progression:
- Install pyright (either the VS Code extension or command-line tool).
- Write a minimal
pyrightconfig.json
that definesinclude
entries. Place the config file in your project’s top-level directory and commit it to your repo. - Run pyright over your source base with the default settings. Fix any errors and warnings that it emits.
- Enable the
reportMissingTypeStubs
setting in the config file and add (minimal) type stub files for the imported files. You may wish to create a “typestubs” directory within your code base -- a common location for all of your custom type stub files. You may be able to find preexisting type stub files for some of your imports within the typeshed repo (in the third-party directory). - Check in your custom type stub files and configure pyright to run as part of your continuous integration (CI) environment to keep the project “type clean”.
- Incrementally add type annotations to your code files. The annotations that provide most value are on function input parameters, instance variables, and return parameters (in that order). Note that annotation of variables (instance, class and local) requires Python 3.6 or newer.
- Enable stricter type checking options like "reportOptionalSubscript", "reportOptionalMemberAccess", "reportOptionalCall", and "reportUntypedFunctionDecorator".
- On a file-by-file basis, enable all type checking options by adding the comment
# pyright: strict
somewhere in the file.
Running Pyright as part of Continuous Integration (CI)
Here is a simple bash script that installs the latest version of Pyright and runs it on a code base. It can be used in a CI environment.
#!/bin/bash
PATH_TO_PYRIGHT=`which pyright`
vercomp () {
if [[ $1 == $2 ]]
then
return 0
fi
local IFS=.
local i ver1=($1) ver2=($2)
# fill empty fields in ver1 with zeros
for ((i=${#ver1[@]}; i<${#ver2[@]}; i++))
do
ver1[i]=0
done
for ((i=0; i<${#ver1[@]}; i++))
do
if [[ -z ${ver2[i]} ]]
then
# fill empty fields in ver2 with zeros
ver2[i]=0
fi
if ((10#${ver1[i]} > 10#${ver2[i]}))
then
return 1
fi
if ((10#${ver1[i]} < 10#${ver2[i]}))
then
return 2
fi
done
return 0
}
# Node version check
echo "Checking node version..."
NODE_VERSION=`node -v | cut -d'v' -f2`
MIN_NODE_VERSION="10.15.2"
vercomp $MIN_NODE_VERSION $NODE_VERSION
# 1 == gt
if [[ $? -eq 1 ]]; then
echo "Node version ${NODE_VERSION} too old, min expected is ${MIN_NODE_VERSION}, run:"
echo " npm -g upgrade node"
exit -1

NODE_MODULES=`npm -g root`

if [ -w "$NODE_MODULES" ]; then
SUDO="" #nop

echo "Checking pyright exists..."
if [ -z "$PATH_TO_PYRIGHT" ]; then
echo "...installing pyright"
${SUDO} npm install -g pyright
else
# already installed, upgrade to make sure it's current
# this avoids a sudo on launch if we're already current
echo "Checking pyright version..."
CURRENT=`pyright --version | cut -d' ' -f2`
REMOTE=`npm info pyright version`
if [ "$CURRENT" != "$REMOTE" ]; then
echo "...new version of pyright found, upgrading."
