Refactor formatter to avoid nullable type bugs

Open systemcatch opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

mypy still complains about Optional.

arrow/formatter.py:125: error: Incompatible return value type (got "Optional[str]", expected "str")
arrow/formatter.py:142: error: Incompatible return value type (got "Optional[str]", expected "str")

First one is return dt.tzname() case. I know that Arrow always store non naive datetime now. but because DateTimeFormatter is public, someone could pass naive datetime object to DateTimeFormatter.format() and in that case DateTimeFormatter._format_token() will return None.

Second one is return self.locale.meridian(dt.hour, token).

But because those issues are known issue (I only annotate type for those cases), I think we can just leave FIXME comment and cast it as str for now. I want to minimize behavior changing in this PR.
