Suppression

Rules can also be ignored in specific locations in your code (instead of disabling the rule entirely) to silence false positives or permissible violations.

Note

To disable a rule entirely, set it to the ignore level as described in rule levels.

ty suppression comments

To suppress a rule violation inline add a # ty: ignore[<rule>] comment at the end of the line:

a = 10 + "test"  # ty: ignore[unsupported-operator]

Rule violations spanning multiple lines can be suppressed by adding the comment at the end of the violation's first or last line:

def add_three(a: int, b: int, c: int): ...

# on the first line

add_three(  # ty: ignore[missing-argument]
    3,
    2
)

# or, on the last line

add_three(
    3,
    2
)  # ty: ignore[missing-argument]

To suppress multiple violations on a single line, enumerate each rule separated by a comma:

add_three("one", 5)  # ty: ignore[missing-argument, invalid-argument-type]

Note

Enumerating rule names (e.g., [rule1, rule2]) is optional. However, we strongly recommend including suppressing specific rules to avoid accidental suppression of other errors.

Standard suppression comments

ty supports the standard type:ignore comment format introduced by PEP 484.

ty handles these similarly to ty: ignore comments, but suppresses all violations on that line, even when type: ignore[code] is used.

# Ignore all typing errors on the next line
add_three("one", 5)  # type: ignore

Unused suppression comments

If the unused-ignore-comment rule is enabled, ty will report unused ty: ignore and type: ignore comments.

unused-ignore-comment violations can only be suppressed using # ty: ignore[unused-ignore-comment]. They cannot be suppressed using # ty: ignore without a rule code or # type: ignore.

@no_type_check directive

ty supports the @no_type_check decorator to suppress all violations inside a function.

from typing import no_type_check

def add_three(a: int, b: int, c: int):
    a + b + c

@no_type_check
def main():
    add_three(3, 4)

Decorating a class with @no_type_check isn't supported.
