Hello.. running into some sort of variable binding bug. Can anyone help me fix this? I have a task which takes in a

Dict

as input. One of the values in that

Dict

is returned from previous task and Flyte is not able to bind the value. I get this AssertionError

AssertionError: this should be a Dictionary type and it is not: <class 'dict'> vs union_type {
  variants {
    map_value_type {
      simple: STRING
    }
    structure {
      tag: "Typed Dict"
    }
  }
  variants {
    simple: NONE
    structure {
      tag: "none"
    }
  }
}

@plain-carpenter-67621, you can't build inputs on the fly using outputs of upstream tasks. Is there any way you can modify

a_generic_python_task

to return the dictionary you're passing to

a_custom_plugin_task

? Another option would be to add a step in the middle to build the dictionary prior to calling

a_custom_plugin_task

or maybe building the dictionary as part of

a_custom_plugin_task
