How to get rid of this error message?

[hw2007]

I am using zed to write a python game, making use of python. Why is this error here, and how do I get rid of it? There isn't anything wrong with my code, this is how the update() function is meant to be used, and this error doesn't show up on other IDEs.

The reason you might be seeing this in Zed and not other IDEs is likely the choice of language server (which can have different behaviors). Zed uses pyright.

Since your update() function is overriding the implementation in the Sprite class which takes the *args and **kwargs parameters, I believe this is correct behavior (even though your code will likely run fine without explicitly adding it).

Updating your override to

def update(self, *args, **kwargs):
    ...

should get the Language Server to stop giving you that error.

Alternatively you can disable that setting in the pyright configuration: setting reportIncompatibleMethodOverride to none should do the trick. See https://microsoft.github.io/pyright/#/configuration.

This section in Zed docs covers how to configure pyright: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/59bc81d1bcaa634adc44d5ddf51a4b184b725b20/docs/src/languages/python.md#configuration
