Why does the type-hinting for enum show an error on VS Code?

Question

I've run into an issue where the expected return type (Enum) and the actual return type do not match, even though they should.

The weird thing is that depending on the way that I write the return statement, the results are different.

The following picture explains this better:

The error message is:

"Expression of type "auto" cannot be assigned to return type "PaymentValidationStatus" "auto" is incompatible with "PaymentValidationStatus"Pylance(reportGeneralTypeIssues)"

The code is:

class PaymentValidationStatus(Enum):
    ORDER_NOT_FOUND = auto()
    ALREADY_PAID = auto()
    PAYMENT_AMOUNT_DOEST_NOT_MATCH_ORDER_PRICE = auto()
    COULD_NOT_PAY_ORDER = auto()
    PAYMENT_OK = auto()


def some() -> PaymentValidationStatus:
    return PaymentValidationStatus["PAYMENT_OK"]


def some2() -> PaymentValidationStatus:
    return PaymentValidationStatus.PAYMENT_OK

The version of vscode, python and python extension are:

• VSCode: 1.67 (MacOS)
• Python: 3.10
• Python extension: v2022.6.0

Update:

I have tried this code in a clean project and it doesn't show any errors.
