Description
The error message you get when something is Optional and you try to access it isn't as friendly as it might be (with --strict-optional
). Eg if I have
def foo(s: Optional[str]) -> None:
print(s.count('a'))
It says error: Some element of union has no attribute "count"
.
It would be nicer if it said something like Variable 's' may be None
or something a bit special cased to the Union with None case.
Generalizing a bit, one could imagine better handling of Unions in general by specifying what is in the Union or even which types in the Unions are causing the issue.
