bug: [regression 0.46] Does not find inherited methods

[llucax]

Description of the bug

I have a project linking to Sub.__init__, where Sub.__init__ is not actually defined but inherited from Parent.__init__. This worked fine until we upgraded to griffe 0.46.

To Reproduce

git clone https://github.com/frequenz-floss/frequenz-sdk-python.git
cd frequenz-sdk-python
python3.11 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install .[dev-mkdocs]
python -m pip show griffe # Shows 0.46
mkdocs serve # fails mkdocs_autorefs: reference/frequenz/sdk/actor/index.md: Could not find cross-reference target '[frequenz.sdk.actor.Actor.__init__]'

(Sorry it is a very big project, my intuition is it should be easy to reproduce with a small code snippet just with a parent and sub-class, but if this is enough info to pin-point the bug I prefer not to spend the time to provide the proper MRE).

Full traceback

No traceback, just error message (warnings, but I use --strict) and a deprecation:

Full log with -v attached.

Expected behavior

It picks up the __init__ from the parent class as before.

Thanks for the report @llucax, and sorry for the trouble. Looking into it right now.

[pawamoy]

Turns out it's the same issue as #295, so closing in favor of the oldest 🙂 See an explanation of the issue there.

[llucax]

sorry for the trouble

All good, we are using an unstable tool and we are not pinning the transitive dependencies, so we know what we are getting into 🙃

Turns out it's the same issue as #295

You linked to this very same issue 😬 😆

[pawamoy]

Erm, #294 😂
