Sweep: TryStar.ExceptHandler incorrectly infers types of caught exceptions

[MartinYe1234]

Steps to reproduce

I'm reproducing this using pylint, as that's how I encountered the issue, and I found that the issue originates in astroid.

1. Create the following test script: (test.py)

try: raise ExceptionGroup("group", [TypeError("error")]) except* TypeError as eg: for exc in eg.exceptions: print(f"Caught TypeError {exc}") print("Handled all exceptions")

2. Run the script python test.py:

Caught TypeError error Handled all exceptions

3. Run pylint -E test.py: ***** Module test test.py:5:15: E1101: Instance of 'TypeError' has no 'exceptions' member (no-member)

The cause of this is that:

Current behavior

ExceptHandler infers the type of eg to be TypeError.

Expected behavior

ExceptHandler infers the type of eg to be (something along the lines of): ExceptionGroup[UnionException[TypeError]] where UnionException[T] = Union[ExceptionGroup[UnionException[T]], T]

In English: The named variable in the except handler is of type ExceptionGroup, and this group contains one or more members that match the except clause, possibly nested in further ExceptionGroups.

File Path	Proposed Changes
astroid/nodes/node_classes.py	Modify astroid/nodes/node_classes.py with contents: • In astroid/nodes/node_classes.py, modify the ExceptHandler class to enhance its type inference logic. Specifically, in the catch method or potentially in a new method dedicated to handling except* syntax, implement logic to infer ExceptionGroup[UnionException[TypeError]] for except* TypeError blocks. This involves checking if the syntax used is except* and then wrapping the inferred exception type(s) within an ExceptionGroup type. • Add a new method or modify an existing one to specifically handle the inference of ExceptionGroup types, ensuring it can recursively handle nested ExceptionGroup instances. This method should be able to construct a type representation that reflects the user's expectation, such as ExceptionGroup[UnionException[TypeError]]. • Ensure that any new logic added respects the existing architecture of astroid, particularly how type inference is performed and represented. • Update any relevant docstrings and comments to reflect the changes made, especially those related to the handling of except* syntax and ExceptionGroup inference.
astroid/protocols.py	Modify astroid/protocols.py with contents: • If necessary, modify or extend the inference rules in astroid/protocols.py to support the new ExceptionGroup inference logic introduced in astroid/nodes/node_classes.py. This may involve adding new protocols or modifying existing ones to account for the ExceptionGroup type and its potential nesting within except* blocks. • Ensure that any changes made are compatible with the existing inference protocols and do not disrupt the inference of other types or nodes within astroid. • Update documentation within the file to accurately describe any new or modified inference protocols, particularly those related to ExceptionGroup handling.

Step 2: ⌨️ Coding

• [X] Modify astroid/nodes/node_classes.py ✓ https://github.com/MartinYe1234/astroid/commit/a4cfd0844f7bda46ad08b057d40cd2a59f729d95 Edit

  Modify astroid/nodes/node_classes.py with contents:
  • Import the necessary types at the top of the file to handle `ExceptionGroup` if not already present. This might include importing `ExceptionGroup` from the `types` module if `astroid` is set to be compatible with Python 3.11 and above.
  • Locate the `ExceptHandler` class definition within `node_classes.py`.
  • Within the `ExceptHandler` class, modify the inference logic in the method responsible for type inference (likely `_infer` or a similar method) to check if the syntax used is `except*` and if so, infer the type as `ExceptionGroup[UnionException[SpecifiedExceptionType]]` where `SpecifiedExceptionType` is the exception type specified in the `except*` clause. This might involve creating utility functions to handle the construction of the nested `ExceptionGroup` and `UnionException` types.
  • Ensure that the modified inference logic correctly handles nesting of `ExceptionGroup`s as described in the issue.
  • Add or modify unit tests within the `tests/` directory to cover the new behavior, ensuring that `ExceptHandler` now correctly infers `ExceptionGroup` types for `except*` syntax. This step is crucial for validating the changes and preventing regressions in the future.
