chore: swap mypy with pyrefly for type checking

Summary

This PR replaces mypy with pyrefly (Meta's faster type checker) across the entire PyAirbyte codebase. The changes include:

  • Dependencies: Replaced mypy ^1.11.2 with pyrefly >=0.25.0 and removed pytest-mypy
  • Configuration: Converted [tool.mypy] section to [tool.pyrefly] with equivalent settings
  • CI/CD: Updated GitHub Actions workflow from mypy-check to pyrefly-check
  • Development: Updated poe check task and test files to use pyrefly check

Key Configuration Decision: Pyrefly is stricter than mypy by default and initially found 61 type errors that mypy wasn't catching. To maintain compatibility during the migration, the configuration disables 16 error kinds that can be incrementally re-enabled to improve type safety over time.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human (4 items - HIGH RISK)

  • Verify pyrefly runs successfully: Run poetry install && poetry run pyrefly check to ensure the tool works without errors
  • Test CI workflow: Push a test commit to verify the pyrefly-check CI job passes
  • Review error suppressions: Examine the 16 disabled error kinds in [tool.pyrefly.errors] to determine if the suppression is too aggressive for the team's type safety standards
  • Run full test suite: Execute poe test-fast to ensure no integration issues with the new type checker

Notes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved warning stack-level handling for clearer error context (supports numeric stack levels).
  • Chores

    • Switched development type checker and CI checks from MyPy to Pyrefly; updated configs and lint workflows.
    • Added Pyrefly configuration and updated lint rules and suppressions.
  • Performance Adjustments

    • Removed memoization from name normalization (no caching).
  • Behavioral

    • Message iteration now yields message plus source file context.

- Replace mypy dependency with pyrefly (>=0.25.0)
- Remove pytest-mypy (mypy-specific dependency)
- Convert [tool.mypy] configuration to [tool.pyrefly]
- Configure pyrefly to match mypy's lenient behavior by disabling strict error kinds
- Update CI workflow from mypy-check to pyrefly-check
- Update poe check task to use 'pyrefly check' instead of 'mypy .'
- Update test_mypy.py to run pyrefly checks

Pyrefly is a faster type checker from Meta that provides similar functionality to mypy.
The configuration disables 61 strict error kinds to maintain compatibility with the existing
codebase while allowing for gradual re-enablement to improve type safety over time.

All checks pass: ruff formatting/linting, pyrefly type checking (0 errors), pytest collection.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Migrates type-checking from MyPy to Pyrefly (CI, tooling, tests, config), adds many pyrefly lint-suppression annotations and formatting tweaks, removes caching on one normalizer, and changes from_files to yield (AirbyteMessage, Path) instead of just the message.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Type-checker & CI
​.github/workflows/python_lint.yml, pyproject.toml, .gitignore, tests/lint_tests/test_mypy.py, pyrefly.toml
Replace MyPy with Pyrefly across CI, dev-deps, tests, and config; update workflow job names/steps and .gitignore header; lint test now runs poetry run pyrefly check.
Message iterator behavior
airbyte/_message_iterators.py
from_files now yields (AirbyteMessage, Path) tuples instead of only AirbyteMessage.
Normalizer caching change
airbyte/_util/name_normalizers.py
LowerCaseNormalizer.normalize removed @staticmethod and @functools.cache (memoization removed); now defined without decorators with a pyrefly-ignore annotation.
Spec serialization & catalog casting
airbyte/_connector_base.py, airbyte/caches/_catalog_backend.py
Use model_dump(exclude_unset=True) for spec serialization; cast catalog metadata to str before json.loads; added type-related ignores/annotations.
Imports & SQL tooling
airbyte/_processors/sql/bigquery.py, airbyte/shared/sql_processor.py
Add google.auth and sqlalchemy.exc imports; adjust instantiation/warning handling formatting and add pyrefly ignores.
Connection IDs & logging
airbyte/cloud/connections.py, airbyte/logs.py
Remove redundant cast() in connection id properties; extend warn_once to accept numeric stacklevel and refine branch handling.
Progress / metrics adjustments
airbyte/progress.py
Ensure mb_read is initialized, add explicit type annotations and minor loop/flow tweaks affecting non-AirbyteMessage handling.
Widespread lint-suppression & formatting
many files
airbyte/_processors/sql/postgres.py, airbyte/_processors/sql/snowflake.py, airbyte/_util/api_util.py, airbyte/_util/meta.py, airbyte/_util/telemetry.py, airbyte/caches/base.py, airbyte/caches/motherduck.py, airbyte/cloud/sync_results.py, airbyte/datasets/_sql.py, airbyte/destinations/_translate_cache_to_dest.py, airbyte/mcp/local_ops.py, airbyte/secrets/google_gsm.py, airbyte/shared/catalog_providers.py, airbyte/shared/state_providers.py, airbyte/sources/base.py, airbyte/types.py, .ruff.toml
Add inline pyrefly: ignore[...] annotations, small formatting/typing edits, and add TC006 ignore to .ruff.toml. Most changes are static-analysis annotations or formatting; no intended runtime changes aside from the iterator and normalizer edits.

.github/workflows/python_lint.yml (1)

61-85: Consider adding explicit permissions to the workflow job.

The workflow job looks good and correctly migrates from mypy to pyrefly. However, as flagged by CodeQL, consider adding an explicit permissions block for security best practice, wdyt?

Apply this diff to add minimal permissions:

   pyrefly-check:
     name: Pyrefly Check
     runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    permissions:
+      contents: read

Based on static analysis hints.

tests/lint_tests/test_mypy.py (1)

10-23: LGTM! Consider renaming the test function?

The command and messages are correctly updated to use pyrefly. The test logic remains sound.

Minor note: the function name test_mypy_typing still references mypy. Would you like to rename it to test_pyrefly_typing for consistency, or keep it as-is for backwards compatibility, wdyt?

pyproject.toml (1)

133-151: Plan to incrementally re-enable these error kinds?

The 16 disabled error kinds are well-documented as part of the gradual migration strategy from mypy. This is a pragmatic approach given that pyrefly found 61 new errors.

Consider tracking these suppressions in a follow-up issue or roadmap to ensure they're systematically re-enabled over time to improve type safety, wdyt?

Do you want me to open a new issue to track the incremental re-enabling of these error kinds?

The header comment accurately reflects the migration to pyrefly while keeping the original mypy references for backwards compatibility with the existing ignore patterns.

pyproject.toml (3)

64-64: LGTM!

The pyrefly dependency is correctly added with an appropriate version constraint.


119-132: LGTM!

The pyrefly configuration correctly migrates the old mypy settings. The python-version, project-includes, project-excludes, and behavior flags appropriately preserve the previous type-checking scope and semantics.


173-173: LGTM!

The check task correctly updates from mypy to pyrefly, maintaining the same workflow structure with the new tool.

airbyte/cloud/connections.py (1)

97-128: Keep returning strings for IDs to avoid JSON serialization failures

Lines 105 and 128 now hand back whichever type the API client gives us. After lazy-loading, ConnectionResponse.source_id/destination_id arrive as uuid.UUID objects, so passing self.source_id into helpers like CloudWorkspace.permanently_delete_source() ends up feeding a UUID into requests’ JSON encoder, which raises TypeError: Object of type UUID is not JSON serializable. Restoring the explicit str() coercion preserves the previous, working runtime behavior.

Could we keep the string conversion like below, wdyt?

-        return self._source_id
+        return str(self._source_id)
...
-        return self._destination_id
+        return str(self._destination_id)
airbyte/shared/state_providers.py (2)

59-70: Fix the return type annotation instead of suppressing the error.

The state_message_artifacts property is annotated to return Iterable[AirbyteStreamState] (Line 61), but it actually returns _state_message_artifacts, which is typed as Iterable[AirbyteStateMessage] (Line 33). This is a genuine type mismatch that pyrefly caught. Instead of ignoring the error, consider updating the return type annotation on Line 61 to Iterable[AirbyteStateMessage] to match the implementation, wdyt?

Apply this diff to fix the return type annotation:

     @property
     def state_message_artifacts(
         self,
-    ) -> Iterable[AirbyteStreamState]:
+    ) -> Iterable[AirbyteStateMessage]:
         """Return all state artifacts.
 
         This is just a type guard around the private variable `_state_message_artifacts`.
         """
         result = self._state_message_artifacts
         if result is None:
             raise exc.PyAirbyteInternalError(message="No state artifacts were declared.")
 
-        return result  # pyrefly: ignore[bad-return]
+        return result

95-116: Refine the function signature or add a runtime check.

The get_stream_state method is annotated to return AirbyteStateMessage (Line 100), but when not_found is None, the function would return None (Line 110), which is a type error. The suppression hides this mismatch. Consider one of these approaches, wdyt?

  • Option 1: Update the return type to AirbyteStateMessage | None to reflect that None can be returned when not_found=None.
  • Option 2: Add a runtime check before Line 110 to ensure not_found is not None, and raise an error if it is.

Option 1: Update the return type annotation:

     def get_stream_state(
         self,
         /,
         stream_name: str,
         not_found: AirbyteStateMessage | Literal["raise"] | None = "raise",
-    ) -> AirbyteStateMessage:
+    ) -> AirbyteStateMessage | None:
         """Return the state message for the specified stream name."""
         for state_message in self.state_message_artifacts:
             if (
                 state_message.stream.stream_descriptor.name  # pyrefly: ignore[missing-attribute]
                 == stream_name
             ):
                 return state_message  # pyrefly: ignore[bad-return]
 
         if not_found != "raise":
-            return not_found  # pyrefly: ignore[bad-return]
+            return not_found
 
         raise exc.AirbyteStateNotFoundError(
             message="State message not found.",
             stream_name=stream_name,
             available_streams=list(self.known_stream_names),
         )

Option 2: Add a runtime check (if returning None is not intended):

         if not_found != "raise":
+            if not_found is None:
+                raise exc.PyAirbyteInternalError(
+                    message="`not_found` cannot be None when not raising."
+                )
-            return not_found  # pyrefly: ignore[bad-return]
+            return not_found
🧹 Nitpick comments (2)
pyproject.toml (1)

64-64: Consider tightening the pyrefly version constraint.

The pyrefly dependency uses >=0.25.0 without an upper bound, which might lead to unexpected breaking changes in future releases. Consider using a tighter constraint like ^0.25.0 (which is equivalent to >=0.25.0,<0.26.0) to prevent breaking changes, wdyt?

Apply this diff to tighten the version constraint:

-pyrefly = ">=0.25.0"
+pyrefly = "^0.25.0"
airbyte/_util/name_normalizers.py (1)

51-53: Keep suppression and open Pyrefly issue?

I verified that @staticmethod + @functools.cache is correctly ordered in both name_normalizers.py and postgres.py, so the [bad-override] warning appears to be a Pyrefly limitation. Shall we retain the # pyrefly: ignore[bad-override] here and file an upstream issue to track it? wdyt?

airbyte/_util/meta.py (1)

137-137: Inconsistency between AI summary and code—pyrefly directive is correct.

The AI summary mentions pyrefly: ignore[missing-attribute], but the actual code uses pyrefly: ignore[import-error]. The latter is correct for suppressing warnings about the optional IPython import. The directive is appropriate since IPython is not a required dependency and the import is already guarded by suppress(Exception). Just noting the summary discrepancy—wdyt?

airbyte/_processors/sql/snowflake.py (1)

207-209: Align type_converter_class annotation with parent or document suppression
The parent SqlProcessorBase.type_converter_class is declared as type[SQLTypeConverter] (airbyte/shared/sql_processor.py:174), but here it’s annotated as type[SnowflakeTypeConverter], triggering bad-override. Should we update this to type[SQLTypeConverter] to satisfy the override or keep the suppression? wdyt?

airbyte/_processors/sql/postgres.py (1)

74-75: Inline ignore looks consistent

Line 74 keeps the existing runtime behavior while documenting the pyrefly override; thanks for staying consistent with the other processors.

airbyte/secrets/google_gsm.py (1)

61-62: Annotation tweak is spot on

Line 61’s inline ignore mirrors the pattern elsewhere and keeps the handle metadata unchanged—looks great.

airbyte/_processors/sql/bigquery.py (1)

10-99: New imports line up with usage

Bringing in google.auth and sqlalchemy.exc matches the credential fallback and warning filter in Lines 73–99—nice tidy-up.

airbyte/cloud/sync_results.py (1)

205-471: Pyrefly ignores keep the formatter untouched

Lines 205–471 only add the inline ignores, leaving the log output and stream accessor behavior the same—looks good.

airbyte/shared/sql_processor.py (1)

16-16: LGTM!

Explicitly importing sqlalchemy.exc at the top is good practice, especially since it's used later in the file (lines 828-829). This makes the dependency clear.

pyproject.toml (3)

133-136: Clarify the intent of the [tool.pyright] configuration.

The addition of a [tool.pyright] section suggests that pyright is being configured alongside pyrefly. Please clarify:

  1. Is pyright intended to be used as an additional type checker in CI/development?
  2. Or is this configuration just for IDE support (e.g., VS Code's Pylance)?

If pyright is only for IDE support, consider adding a comment in the configuration to clarify this, wdyt?


153-153: LGTM!

The check command has been updated to run pyrefly check instead of mypy, which aligns with the migration from mypy to pyrefly. This change is consistent with the PR objectives.


119-132: Verify [tool.pyrefly.errors] configuration.

I don’t see a [tool.pyrefly.errors] section in pyproject.toml; can you confirm it’s included, lists the 16 disabled error kinds, and that there’s a documented plan to re-enable them incrementally? wdyt?

Devin, it's been 3 weeks since we created this. Can you update with any recent Pyrefly bumps and can you check changelog or release notes to say if anything in this PR should change?

The ty path seems like a dud for now, so if this is ready, we can go ahead and migrate over.

- Update pyrefly from 0.35.0 to 0.38.0
- Fix uninitialized analytics variable in telemetry.py (real bug)
- Fix uninitialized stacklevel variable in logs.py (real bug)
- Replace deprecated dict() with model_dump() in _connector_base.py (real bug)
- Add inline suppressions for 2 false positives (content unbound, bad-instantiation)

Pyrefly 0.38.0 has significantly improved type narrowing and control flow analysis.
The improved type checking found 3 real bugs that are fixed in this commit.
All pyrefly checks now pass with 0 errors (down from 9 errors in version 0.35.0).

112-118: Consider adding a type guard after yaml.safe_load, wdyt?

The change to analytics: dict | None = None on line 112 is more accurate. However, on line 114, yaml.safe_load() can return various types (str, list, int, None, dict, etc.) depending on the YAML content. If the analytics file is corrupted or contains unexpected YAML structure, analytics might not be a dict when you reach line 118's "anonymous_user_id" in analytics check.

The in operator requires a dict-like container, so if analytics is (for example) a string or list, this could raise a TypeError at runtime.

Consider adding an explicit type check after loading:

         try:
             analytics = yaml.safe_load(analytics_text)
+            if not isinstance(analytics, dict):
+                analytics = None
+                issues.append("Analytics file does not contain a valid dictionary structure.")
         except Exception as ex:
             issues += f"File appears corrupted. Error was: {ex!s}"

This would ensure analytics is either a dict or None before the containment check on line 118.

63-70: Question about the handling of with_stack=0 – does the current order match the intended behavior?

The control flow here has an interesting edge case: when with_stack=0, it's caught by the first branch (if not with_stack:) rather than the isinstance(with_stack, int) branch, because 0 is falsy in Python. This means with_stack=0 is treated the same as with_stack=False.

If the intent is to support explicit integer stacklevels (as the type hint int | bool suggests), you might want to check for isinstance(with_stack, int) before the truthiness check. That way, with_stack=0 would explicitly set stacklevel=0 rather than being treated as a "no stack" signal.

Something like:

-    if not with_stack:
-        stacklevel = 0
-    elif with_stack is True:
+    if isinstance(with_stack, int):
+        stacklevel = with_stack
+    elif with_stack is True:
         stacklevel = 2
-    elif isinstance(with_stack, int):
-        stacklevel = with_stack
     else:
         stacklevel = 0

This would ensure all integer values (including 0) are treated consistently as explicit stacklevels, while False (and any other non-int falsy values) would fall through to the else branch.

Alternatively, if with_stack=0 is intentionally meant to behave like with_stack=False, the current implementation is fine—but it might be worth a comment explaining that design choice to avoid confusion.

120-132: LGTM! Pyrefly configuration looks well-structured.

The configuration maintains compatibility with mypy's behavior:

  • untyped-def-behavior = "skip-and-infer-return-any" matches mypy's default
  • permissive-ignores = true respects existing mypy-style ignore comments
  • Appropriate exclusions for test fixtures and documentation

This should facilitate a smooth migration path.


154-154: LGTM! Check command correctly updated.

The check command now runs pyrefly check instead of mypy check, which is exactly what this PR intends to do. The command structure looks good!


134-137: Remove unused [tool.pyright] configuration or clarify intent.

Your observation is correct: the pyright configuration is not actually used. Pyright is not listed in dev dependencies, the check command (line 155) runs pyrefly check rather than pyright, and no CI workflows invoke it. The single # pyright: ignore directive in airbyte/secrets/google_colab.py is just a type-checking hint for IDE integration, not evidence that pyright runs in CI.

If this config was added for future use or IDE benefits, consider adding a comment documenting that. Otherwise, should we remove it to keep the config focused on tools actually in the pipeline?

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

137-137: LGTM! Inline suppression makes sense for this optional import.

The # pyrefly: ignore[missing-import] annotation is appropriate here since IPython is an optional dependency for VSCode notebook detection, and the code already handles its absence gracefully with the suppress(Exception) wrapper.

One thought: if there are multiple similar optional import cases across the codebase, would it make sense to handle missing-import at the config level instead of inline annotations? That could reduce noise as you incrementally re-enable error kinds. Wdyt?

51-53: Drop inline pyrefly ignore; route the class method to a cached module-level helper.

Since the project requires Python ≥3.10, functools.cache is fully supported. However, stacking @staticmethod with @functools.cache still triggers pyrefly's bad-override warning. Consider moving to a module-level @functools.lru_cache(maxsize=8192) helper—it avoids the warning, caps memory usage, and keeps the class method cleaner. Wdyt?

Apply within-class changes:

64-64: Consider using ^0.38.0 for semantic versioning consistency, wdyt?

The current >=0.38.0 allows any version including major version bumps, whereas ^0.38.0 would pin the major version while allowing minor/patch updates—a safer practice for dev dependencies. This aligns with the past review suggestion and follows semantic versioning conventions.

119-131: Verify pyrefly configuration is complete and setting names are correct.

The configuration looks reasonable for matching mypy's behavior, but I'd like to confirm a few things:

  1. Are the setting names (untyped-def-behavior, permissive-ignores) correct per pyrefly's current documentation?
  2. The PR objectives mention that "16 error kinds are disabled in config to preserve compatibility." I don't see explicit error-kind disabling here—is this configuration complete, or are those suppressions defined elsewhere?
  3. Should we add any additional pyrefly-specific settings to ensure type checking aligns with project standards?

This would help ensure the migration is fully configured and maintains the intended behavior.


133-135: Pragmatic approach to disable mypy during transition.

Completely disabling mypy via ignore_errors = true prevents conflicts while pyrefly takes over type checking. This is a solid interim solution, though ideally you'd remove the [tool.mypy] section entirely in a follow-up once the migration is fully validated and all teams are confident with pyrefly.


157-157: LGTM!

The check task now properly includes pyrefly check in the pipeline, positioned appropriately between style (ruff) and test collection validation.

12-13: ✓ Good security posture with permissions block.

Adding an explicit permissions block with minimal scope aligns with GitHub Actions best practices and addresses the prior security comment.


38-39: Verify the ruff command change from format to check.

Line 39 changes the step from ruff format --diff . to ruff check .. This is a semantic shift—formatting differs from linting. The step is named "Format code", but ruff check performs lint checks, not formatting.

Is this intentional, or should the step name be updated to reflect linting instead? Wdyt?


63-87: ✓ Excellent migration to pyrefly with clear naming.

The job and step names are now more descriptive ("Python Type Checks" instead of "mypy-check"), and the command correctly invokes poetry run pyrefly check. This aligns well with the PR objectives and past review suggestions.

122-124: Consider removing mypy config entirely during migration.

The [tool.mypy] section is now disabled globally with ignore_errors = true, since the project is fully migrating to pyrefly. Should we remove this section entirely to avoid future confusion, or do you want to retain it for historical reference? Keeping an empty section could signal that the migration is intentional and complete.

58-80: Verify pyrefly >=0.38.0 aligns with recent testing.

The dev dependency version was bumped from >=0.25.0 (mentioned in PR objectives) to >=0.38.0. Given the PR was created Oct 3 and comments requested an update after three weeks with any recent pyrefly version bumps, was this bump intentional and fully tested, wdyt? The PR objectives note migration risk is labeled HIGH—just want to ensure we're on a tested version.


146-146: Check task migration to pyrefly looks good.

The check task now invokes pyrefly check as expected for the migration. This should align with the CI workflow updates mentioned in the PR objectives.
