mypy shows stale results

[Redoubts]

For some reason, I find that the type-checker extension is showing stale results in the editor. But when I go to the output window and run the command that is being logged in my own shell, I get the correct and expected answer. This seems to happen when changes are made in another file than the one being viewed/edited.

For example:

2023-11-28 12:32:47.671 [info] /.../mypy --no-color-output --no-error-summary --show-absolute-path --show-column-numbers --show-error-codes --no-pretty --config-file=/.../mypy.ini --cache-dir=/.../mypy_cache --show-error-end /.../my-file.py
2023-11-28 12:32:47.671 [info] CWD Server: /.../src
2023-11-28 12:32:56.431 [info] file:///... :
/.../my-file:102:35:102:62: error: "Base" has no attribute "get_slack_instructions"  [attr-defined]
/.../my-file.py:103:42:103:69: error: "Base" has no attribute "get_slack_instructions"  [attr-defined]

% /.../mypy --no-color-output --no-error-summary --show-absolute-path --show-column-numbers --show-error-codes --no-pretty --config-file=/.../mypy.ini --cache-dir=/.../mypy_cache --show-error-end /.../my-file.py

% # (no error)

Using v2023.7.13181008 (latest pre-release), with the settings:

    "mypy-type-checker.args": [
        "--config-file=${workspaceFolder}/mypy.ini",
        "--cache-dir=/.../mypy_cache"
    ],
    "mypy-type-checker.importStrategy": "fromEnvironment",
    "mypy-type-checker.preferDaemon": false,
    "mypy-type-checker.path": [
        "/.../mypy"
    ],

And my mypy-type-checker points to the mypy in the python venv set for the project.

If you have mypy-type-checker.reportingScope set as file then we don’t update the results for all files. It only updates results for the file you are working on. Set it to workspace.

lemme see if that makes it better. Though I will say these edits usually come through other tabs in the same window. -e- (not a great solution for a large production codebase, as that increases runtime substantially)

We don't re-evaulate all open files when you make and edit in the file (scope). We do it in the workspace scope.
