`safe-super` change breaks Mixin support
Bug Report
We want to indicate that a (super-)class must implement a specific protocol in order to inherit from a specific (sub-) class. We used to annotate self as the super class in the subclass to express this. With mypy 1.10.0 this introduces a safe-super error. Is there currently a way to express this requirement?
To Reproduce
from typing import Protocol
class HasFormValid(Protocol):
def form_valid(self, form):
pass
class SaveValidFormMixin:
def form_valid(self: HasFormValid, form):
form.save()
super().form_valid(form)
Expected Behavior
No error: Since we never actually inherit from the HasFormValid protocol, this should be safe.
Actual Behavior
mypy 1.10.0 treats HasFormValid.form_valid as trivial and warns about its usage. In this case, it is assured that HasFormValid.form_valid cannot be actually called via super().form_valid.
mypy <1.10.0 does not raise an error here.
