Accidentally deleted .mypy_cache folder

Question

While running python type checker for django project with invoke I get the error:

File "/Users/myusername/.pyenv/versions/3.8.3/lib/python3.8/genericpath.py", line 55, in getmtime
        return os.stat(filename).st_mtime
    FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '.mypy_cache/3.8/django/core/exceptions.data.json'

I accidentally deleted .mypy_cache folder to troubleshoot another problem. So now I don't know where the .mypy_cache folder should live and is there any command to get it back again?

Edit: Now, after running mypy, I have got the exceptions.data.json inside mypy_cache now, but it still keeps saying No file found. It's on the same path as it's saying not found. How can I make this exception file found? Without this I'm not able to run type-checker

Answer 1

it usually live in under the main project as a folder.

project
|-- .mypy_cache
|-- ...

well nothing too bad has happened, you can simply run mypy again and it will create a new cache folder.

what will happen is next time you run mypy it would take it a little longer since he has to go all over again.
