python:S7502 False Positive when using type hints

Please provide

  • Operating system: Ubuntu 25.04
  • SonarQube for VS Code plugin version: 4.35.0
  • Programming language you’re coding in: Python
  • Is connected mode used: No

And a thorough description of the problem / question:

When assigning an asyncio.Task to a variable using type hints, python:S7502 will be raised. For example:

import asyncio


async def my_func() -> None:
    await asyncio.sleep(1)


async def main() -> None:
    my_task: asyncio.Task[None] = asyncio.create_task(my_func())
    await my_task


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

But it is not raised in the following example:

import asyncio


async def my_func() -> None:
    await asyncio.sleep(1)


async def main() -> None:
    my_task = asyncio.create_task(my_func())
    await my_task


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())

Hi @MarshTheBacca,
Thanks you for your report.

I was able to reproduce this and created a ticket for it.

Best,

You need to represent noqa as comment code with proper statement so that sonarlint can identify but that’s not good practice to do in code
