Regression in astroid-2.4: False positive not-callable error #775
Description
We are using Pylint 2.3.1. Until today following class linted without issues:
class PageIterator:
def __init__(self, current_page):
# Removed for clarity
def next(self):
# Removed for clarity
def __next__(self):
return self.next()
def __iter__(self):
return self
Today since astroid-2.4.0 was released, our CI workflows are failing with the following error:
E1102: self.next is not callable (not-callable)
Line number points to the return self.next() in the above class. This seems to be a regression as this used to work fine, and self.next() is clearly a callable member method of the class.
Note that we are still using the same version of Pylint as before (it is hardcoded into our build scripts). But Astroid version is not controlled, and hence the CI workflow seems to pick the latest available.
