Error should occur at the timing when only defining the function which only returns None #20250

Description

*Memo:

  • mypy test.py
  • mypy 1.18.2
  • Python 3.14.0
  • Windows 11

The function which only returns None gets the error if defining and calling the function, and printing the return value as shown below:

def func() -> None:
    return None

print(func())
# Error

error: "func" does not return a value (it only ever returns None)

But, only defining and calling the function doesn't get the error as shown below:

def func() -> None:
    return None

func()
# No error

And, only defining the function doesn't get the error as shown below:

def func() -> None:
    return None
# No error

So, the error should occur at the timing when only defining the function as shown below:

def func() -> None:
    return None
# Error

error: "func" does not return a value (it only ever returns None)
