Summary

  • Problem: in Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, a nested function or named arrow couldn't use the types of variables it captures from its enclosing function. In r = Range(); def inner(): return r.reset(), r.reset() resolved only while reset was a project-unique name. Each caller's local-type map held only its own bindings and parameters, so once Other also defined reset, the nested call got no edge.
  • Fix: TypeInferenceEngine.build_local_variable_type_map seeds a Python, JS or TS caller's map with the types its enclosing functions give their own variables, innermost first. They sit below the caller's own bindings and above the class-field overlay.
    • What it binds itself is never captured: a parameter (destructured too), a declaration, a loop or catch variable, a plain JS assignment, or a Python global/nonlocal. Neither is a name bound by a function in between.
    • JS/TS reads only the enclosing function's own declarations: the new own_scope_variable_types. The caller map is flat, so a sibling's same-named local would win whichever came last. Python's map was already the body's own (A nested def's local binding leaks into the enclosing function's type map, mistyping an outer receiver #1922).
    • Helpers: js_ts_own_scope_names and py.ast_analyzer.own_scope_names list each function's own bindings. The Python helper deliberately leaves out the enclosing defs that _locally_bound_names includes.
    • Memoised: each enclosing function's types are kept for the module being walked, so all its nested callers share one build. The memo clears when the module changes and at the start of each Pass 3.

Demo

captured variable types: main vs this branch

The GIF plays the session step by step on the issue's closure repo. r = Range() / const r = new Range() sits in the enclosing function, and r.reset() is in a nested def, a nested function, a named arrow and an arrow inside a method; Other also defines reset. The repo is indexed with cgr start against Memgraph, then the demo lists the callers of each reset.

  • main: only a.outer and b.outer call Range.reset, and nothing calls Other.reset. Owner.method.cb's call is linked nowhere.
  • This branch: a.outer.inner, b.outer.inner, b.outer.viaArrow and b.Owner.method.cb all call Range.reset (exact), and nothing calls Other.reset. The new tests pass.

Test Plan

  • All existing unit tests pass (make test): related suites run, full suite see below
  • New tests added for new functionality
  • Integration tests pass (if applicable)
  • Manual testing performed

Red/green TDD in codebase_rag/tests/test_closure_captured_local_types.py. Each test indexes real Python, JS or TS sources in which both Range and Other define reset.

  • Red on main (87a8f58): 9 failed, 10 passed.
  • test_a_nested_function_types_a_captured_variable (9 cases), each expecting {Range.reset (exact)}:
    • py-nested-def, py-def-in-method, py-two-levels-up, py-annotated-parameter;
    • ts-nested-function, ts-named-arrow, ts-arrow-in-method;
    • js-nested-function, and js-sibling-declares-the-name-too, where a sibling's const r = new Other() must not lend its type.
  • Negatives: test_a_name_the_nested_function_binds_is_not_captured (9 cases). The captured Range never applies:
    • Python: own rebinding (binds Other.reset), own parameter, global r, an untyped rebinding in a function in between, a sibling's local;
    • JS: own declaration (binds Other.reset), an arrow parameter, a destructured parameter, a reassignment inside the nested function.
  • Control: test_the_enclosing_functions_own_call_is_unchanged.
  • Green on this branch: 19 passed.
  • Mutation checks, 7 caught:
    • no hiding of the nested function's own names;
    • no hiding by a function in between;
    • the flat JS map in place of the own-scope one;
    • only the immediate enclosing scope;
    • JS assignments not counted;
    • JS patterns not walked;
    • Python global not counted.
  • One more mutation survived: dropping a filter that kept only the enclosing scope's own names. It was redundant, since both builders return own-scope maps, and was removed.
  • Also:
    • The walk returns at once when a caller has no enclosing function, so a top-level function or method lists none of its names.
    • test_type_inference_iterative.py's dispatch tests hand the type map a bare MagicMock, whose parent is another mock forever. The walk to an enclosing function never ended, and the worker ran out of memory. Their stand-in node is now a top-level one (parent is None), as every real tree's root is.
  • Wider runs:
    • Every non-integration test matching closure, captured, local_type, type_inference or nested passes (783).
    • A 1,022-test single-process run of the JS/TS suites passes, exit 0.
    • ruff check, ruff format and ty are clean.
    • Full suite with Memgraph: queued in the local serial runner; the result is added to this description when it lands. CI runs it too.
  • Manual: the demo above.

Checklist

  • My code follows the Conventional Commits format
  • I have run pre-commit hooks locally: ruff, ruff format and ty were run by hand on the changed files

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved method resolution in nested Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and TSX functions that use variables captured from enclosing functions, including named arrow functions.
    • Resolved captured variables using the nearest applicable enclosing binding across multiple nested scopes.
    • Avoided incorrect resolution when names are shadowed or assignments may change a captured variable’s type.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for captured variables, type annotations, name shadowing, and assignments in nested functions.

…closing function

`r = Range(); def inner(): return r.reset()` resolved `r.reset()` only
while `reset` was a project-unique name: a nested function's local-type
map held its own bindings and parameters alone. Once `Other` also
defined `reset` the call got no edge, and inside a method, whose nested
calls are not attributed to it, the call was linked nowhere. Python,
JavaScript and TypeScript alike (#3200).

A Python, JS or TS caller's map is now seeded with the own-scope types
of each enclosing function, innermost first, below its own bindings:

- a name the nested function binds itself (a parameter, a declaration,
  a loop or catch variable, a plain JS assignment, a Python
  `global`/`nonlocal`) is not captured, and neither is a name a function
  in between binds;
- JS/TS reads only the declarations the enclosing function makes itself
  (`own_scope_variable_types`), so a sibling's same-named local cannot
  lend its type; Python's map was already the body's own (#1922);
- each enclosing function's types are memoised for the module being
  walked, so its nested callers share one build.

Fixes #3200
…names

The captured-variable pass listed the nested caller's own bindings before
it knew there was an enclosing function to capture from, so every
top-level function and method paid for a walk of its body for nothing.
It now returns at once when the caller has no enclosing function.

The dispatch tests hand the type map a bare mock, whose `parent` is
another mock forever: the walk to an enclosing function never ended and
the worker ran out of memory. Their stand-in node is now a top-level one
(`parent` is None), as every real tree's root is.

Walkthrough

Type inference now uses eligible types captured from enclosing functions when resolving calls inside nested Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and TSX functions. Function-local binding analysis excludes names rebound in the nested function or an intermediate scope.

Explanation

The description includes the required Summary, Demo, Type of Change, Related Issues, Test Plan, and Checklist sections. It explains the fix, test coverage, manual demonstration, and remaining full-suite test status. The unchecked pre-commit item is non-critical because the description records equivalent Ruff and ty checks.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #3200 requires captured types in nested Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript functions and arrows. TypeInferenceEngine._captured_variable_types adds enclosing-function bindings in nearest-first order. The merge preserves caller bindings and excludes names bound by the nested or intervening function. JavaScript and TypeScript scope analysis handles declarations, patterns, loop and catch variables, block scopes, and writes. Python analysis handles parameters, global, nonlocal, and intervening bindings. The new tests cover exact Range.reset edges, method callbacks, interface parameters, multiple nesting levels, rebinding negatives, sibling scopes, and unchanged direct calls.

I checked this branch (685a23f) against #3200's repro: all four nested callers now reach Range.reset as exact. These edge cases also come out right:

  • Python late binding (r = Other(), then def inner, then r = Range() gives Range);
  • a nested def's own r = Other() beating the captured Range;
  • a captured parameter;
  • three-level nesting;
  • a method of a class defined inside the function;
  • a TS sibling function whose own const r is not lent to its sibling.

One case adds a new wrong exact edge. The enclosing function declares the same name again in an inner block that does not contain the nested function:

cap.ts: outer declares const r = new Range on line 5, then inside if (flag) const r = new Other and r.reset; line 10 const f = arrow r.reset. On main, callees of outer.f lists no edges; on PR 3331, callees of outer.f lists cap.ts:10 -› Other.reset exact

mkdir cap && cd cap && git init -q
cat > cap.ts <<'EOF'
class Range { reset(): number { return 1; } }
class Other { reset(): number { return 2; } }

export function outer(flag: boolean): () => number {
  const r = new Range();
  if (flag) {
    const r = new Other();
    r.reset();
  }
  const f = (): number => r.reset();
  return f;
}
EOF
git add -A && git -c user.email=x@x -c user.name=x commit -qm init
cgr -q start --repo-path . --update-graph
cgr -q graph callees "$(cgr -q graph resolve outer.f | jq -r '.[0].qualified_name')" | jq -r '.[] | "\(.path):\(.line) -> \(.qualified_name | split(".") | .[-2:] | join(".")) \(.resolution)"'
# main:      (nothing: `reset` is defined twice, so the untyped capture gets no edge)
# PR #3331:  cap.ts:10 -> Other.reset exact     <- `f` captures the function-level `r`, a Range

own_scope_variable_types (codebase_rag/parsers/js_ts/type_inference.py:227) skips nested functions but not nested blocks. The if block's const r is recorded after the function-level one and replaces it.

The flat per-function map has the same problem for a function's own calls, which I filed separately as #3332. Here, though, the scope is known and cheap to apply: only declarations whose enclosing block (or case/for/catch) contains the nested function can be the one it captures. var is the exception, since it is function-scoped. So the walk can skip any block that doesn't contain the nested caller, for let/const. With that, the captured type is the innermost declaration on the path to the nested function. A regression test can be the snippet above, where outer.f reaches Range.reset only.

…sible

The enclosing function's map flattened every declarator in its body, so a
`const r` in a sibling block (or one declared after the block around the
nested function) replaced the `r` the nested function actually reads and
gave its `r.reset()` an exact edge to the wrong class. Key the enclosing
function's bindings by the span each holds in, using the existing JS
binding index, and read only the spans around the caller, innermost first;
a `var` still holds in the whole function.
`const cb = function r() { r.reset(); }` binds `r` to the function itself
inside its body, shadowing an enclosing `r`, but its own-scope names held
only its parameters and body bindings, so the enclosing `Range` was lent to
the self name and `r.reset()` got an exact edge to `Range.reset`.
`outer(r: IRange)` types `r` by its first-party interface in its own map
(#2524), but the bindings a nested callback captures came from body
declarators alone, so the callback's `r.reset()` lost the typed edge
`outer` itself gets. Seed the interface parameters into the enclosing
function's whole-span bindings; a `var` redeclaring one still wins.

…h enclosing def with its own class

Two ways a nested function was handed the wrong class (Greptile on #3331):

- JS/TS: `let r = new Range(); r = new Other();` left the captured `r`
  typed `Range`, though `inner` may run after the write. A typed binding
  now keeps its type only while every plain write to it (`r = v`,
  `r ??= v`), in the enclosing body or in a nested function that does not
  declare its own `r`, infers to the same class; otherwise it keeps the
  declared annotation, if any, else no type.
- Python: an enclosing def's map was built with the caller's class, so
  for a method of a class defined inside that def, the def's `self` was
  typed as the inner class, and the memo kept whichever caller came first.
  Each enclosing def now gets the class around it, derived from the
  caller's by dropping one qualified-name segment per def and class passed,

P1 Unrelated blocks hide captured types

_captured_variable_types hides names from every block in an intermediate function, even blocks that do not contain the callback. For example, outer declares const r = new Range(), mid contains { let r; }, and mid.inner calls r.reset() outside that block.

The block span is correctly excluded, but this line adds r back to hidden. inner loses the captured type, so its call cannot resolve when both Range and Other define reset. For JS/TS, hide only bindings whose scope contains the callback.

P1 Python captures pick one class

Python callbacks inherit one type even when different assignments can give the captured variable different classes. For example, outer(flag) assigns r = Range(), conditionally assigns r = Other(), then returns inner, whose body calls r.reset().

The enclosing builder stores one class for r, and this capture path gives that class to inner for both values of flag. The call is marked exact to one method even though the other can run. Keep the possible types or leave conflicting captured bindings untyped instead of lending one flat-map result.
