False positive: "overloaded signature will never be matched" with Self
Bug Report
When combining Self and base class overloads, mypy incorrectly warns about the former being "the same or broader" as the latter. However, those overloads are both actually used.
I do know that this can be solved with a single TypeVar - the case is extracted from a more complicated code where similar TypeVar solution doesn't seem to apply.
To Reproduce
from __future__ import annotations
from typing import Self, overload
class Base:
@overload
def fn(self, other: Self) -> Self: ...
@overload
def fn(self, other: Base) -> Base: ...
def fn(self, other: Base) -> Base:
return other
class X(Base): ...
class Y(Base): ...
reveal_type(X().fn(X()))
reveal_type(X().fn(Y()))
reveal_type(Y().fn(X()))
reveal_type(Y().fn(Y()))
Expected Behavior
No errors reported
Actual Behavior
main.py:10: error: Overloaded function signature 2 will never be matched: signature 1's parameter type(s) are the same or broader [misc]
main.py:18: note: Revealed type is "__main__.X"
main.py:19: note: Revealed type is "__main__.Base"
main.py:20: note: Revealed type is "__main__.Base"
main.py:21: note: Revealed type is "__main__.Y"
