Description

This PR resolves mypy type checking issues across the PyMAPDL core modules, reducing errors from 132 to 0 in source code.

Changes

Type Annotations & Fixes

  • mapdl_grpc.py: Fixed attribute redefinitions (_ip, _port, _channel), added None checks for _stub, improved timeout handling
  • mapdl_core.py: Added proper type annotations (TextIO, _archive_cache, _remove_tmp), fixed return statements
  • licensing.py: Fixed type annotation for licenses list assignment
  • pool.py: Handled Optional timeout parameter properly
  • database.py: Added None check for environment variable access
  • mesh_grpc.py: Cast float to int for list assignment
  • verif_files.py: Added None check for inspect.currentframe()
  • commands.py: Added value parameter to property setter signature
  • helpers.py: Removed invalid namedtuple type annotation
  • parameters.py: Added type ignore comments for intentional mixed dict types
  • krylov.py: Added type ignore comments for dynamic type operations with MAPDL parameters
  • common_grpc.py: Replaced None with empty string in list items
  • .ci/pytest_summary.py: Added type ignore for union type operations

Configuration

  • Added explicit exclusions for and directories in pre-commit mypy hook

Testing

  • All mypy checks pass for source code
  • Syntax validation completed successfully
  • Pre-commit hooks pass

Impact

  • Improved type safety and IDE support
  • Better code quality and maintainability
  • No functional changes to existing code

…command mixins inherit

Add a CommandsBase class (with a typed run(command, write_to_log, mute, **kwargs) stub)
to declare the interface used by APDL command mixins. Update numerous command modules
to import and inherit from CommandsBase so mixins consistently express the expected
run() contract for the parent MAPDL class.
…otations

Convert several Literal tuple usages to explicit TypeAlias (ENTITIES_TYP,
RESIDUAL_ALGORITHM_LITERAL, VALID_DEVICES_LITERAL, VALID_FILE_TYPE_FOR_PLOT_LITERAL),
import TypeAlias where needed, and add typing annotations for base_report_class.
Minor typing cleanup and ignore-type for Report subclassing.
- common_grpc: annotate parse_chunks as grpc.CallIterator (ignore name-defined)
- component: correct ENTITIES_MAPPING typing, tighten Component __new__/repr/type signatures and add attr type ignores
- helpers: fix namedtuple import from collections
- krylov: guard residuals with None check and add attr type ignore on append
- logging: add type ignores for dynamic logger handler attributes
- mapdl_core: fix mesh check (grid.n_node), accept pathlib.Path in _decompose_fname, add asserts for newly created/opened resources, and local rename for clarity
- mapdl_geometry: allow ndarray for _select_items parameter
- misc: broaden routine parameters to accept str or ROUTINES and add type ignores for mapdl attribute access
- pool: avoid shadowing timeout by renaming and add type ignore for progress bar update

These changes improve typing correctness, silence false-positive type errors, and address several small bugs/clarifications.
… core modules

- component: broaden Component.__new__ to accept lists, ndarrays, ints, strs, Components and None; coerce items to tuple and handle fallbacks. Make ComponentManager handle cmtype as string or [selection, type] and guard cmlist parsing for None.
- krylov: tighten typing (Optional[str] for full_file), accept int/str for frequency inputs, allow residual_algorithm to be Optional and validate only when provided.
- licensing: raise OSError when home directory cannot be determined before building license path.
- mapdl_core: accept pathlib.Path or str in _wrap_directory.
- mapdl_extended / mapdl_grpc: add targeted type ignores and refine parameter types (chunk_size, progress_bar, _mapdl_process, vget/nvar, VAR_IR) to satisfy static typing and avoid mypy issues.
- misc: robust MODULE_PATH resolution using inspect.currentframe() with fallback to __file__.
…arent/type guards

- component: refine __getitem__ return annotation to Component (type: ignore[override])
- krylov: guard residual_algorithm against None before calling .lower()
- licensing: handle missing subprocess.stdout, ensure licenses is a list, and check output type before searching for error messages
- logging: check self.extra is not None before accessing .name
- mapdl_core: cache parent reference in WithInterativePlotting and assert it's not None; avoid repeated _parent() calls
- mapdl_extended: safely search for the table block before parsing and only populate the table if a match is found
- mapdl_grpc: return empty string instead of None from command response helper
- mesh_grpc: use safe regex matches when extracting REAL CONSTANT SET, ITEMS, and TO values
- parameters: guard regex searches when extracting parameter names and string elements to avoid AttributeError
- fix Literal alias declaration in common_grpc
- tighten Optional/Union signatures and use TypeAlias where appropriate
- add explicit variable typings and where necessary
- small parsing/type improvements in component, parameters, misc
- annotate/adjust dynamic fields in mapdl_core, mapdl_grpc, licensing, pool, krylov, logging

Improve type clarity and runtime robustness while keeping dynamic assignments compatible with runtime values.
Add/adjust type hints (TextIO, Optional, list[str], TYPE_CHECKING imports), tighten function signatures, add targeted type:ignore comments, cast query results to int for SelectionStatus, and improve internal type checks/assertions. Also rename a few tests for clearer descriptions.

Incorrect attribute name. Should be grid.n_points not grid.n_node. The VTK grid object uses n_points as shown in the comment on line 1320.

Redundant int() conversions. The _run_query method is already called with integer=True, which should return an int. The explicit int() cast is unnecessary and suggests the return type of _run_query should be fixed instead.
