Hi, community, just opened an RFC about

JSON IDL

to solve dict, dataclass and pydantic issue in flytekit. We will have 100% type correct after this implementation is done and closed 10+ issues. Please take a look, thank you all. https://github.com/flyteorg/flyte/pull/5607 @glamorous-carpet-83516 @high-accountant-32689 @freezing-airport-6809 @thankful-minister-83577 @cool-lifeguard-49380 @flaky-parrot-42438 @gorgeous-waitress-5026 @clean-glass-36808 @agreeable-kitchen-44189

Does it also solve the problem when you put an enum into a dict and on the other side it’s not an enum anymore but the respective enum value type like int or str?

good call out

Read the RFC and it makes me really happy that messagepack seems to just “save the day” 👏 My most important feedback on the RFC is this comment. Hope we can find a solution that provides a better UX.

I will reply all of your questions today

I think I don’t fully understand the proposed solution. Do you propose to compare the python import paths of the input value to the union variants of the task in flytepropeller’s compiler logic? If so, how would that account for inheritance?

Let me take a look and reply you later today

@damp-lion-88352 we can discuss this issue outside of the messagepack rfc

Yes no prob
