Research direction

Start at the aiofiles.tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile entry point and compare its name annotation with the standard library tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile behavior. Update the reported type so f.name is a str, then verify that the example no longer reports FileDescriptorOrPath.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

stubs: false positive

When using aiofiles like this:

from aiofiles.tempfile import NamedTemporaryFile


async def main():
    async with NamedTemporaryFile() as f:
        print(f.name)

f.name is reported to be a FileDescriptorOrPath. It should probably be a str instead because that's how it is for the stdlib's tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile and that's the whole point of a named temporary file.
