07/18/2022, 5:31 PMHi all! I'm running into an issue where I'm trying to pass in a boolean value to a workflow. I'm on flytekit 1.1.0 and trying to run this command:
Copy code
pyflyte run my_task.py download --remote # this works
pyflyte run my_task.py download # this does not work (remote=False) Copy code
@workflow
def download(remote: bool = False):
... Copy code
line 191, in to_python_value
raise TypeTransformerFailedError(f"Cannot convert literal {lv} to {self._type}")
flytekit.core.type_engine.TypeTransformerFailedError: Cannot convert literal scalar {
primitive {
}
}
to <class 'bool'>y

what is the remote flag here supposed to do btw?
and can you try with
--remote falsee
Eric Hsiao
07/18/2022, 5:52 PMIt's just a custom parameter that I'm using in my task to download locally or pass to a dedicated s3 bucket
tried
--remote false--remote=falsey

hmm
having trouble reproing this
still working on a gist one sec
running this (just locally) and it seems to work for me

07/18/2022, 7:22 PMwere you able to run that using the CLI? I wonder if that's where things break down.
Something like this
Copy code
pyflyte run my_wf --remotee

def is_remote(remote: bool):
print(f"is remote: {remote}")

yeah see comment in the gist

07/18/2022, 8:02 PMthis is interesting. I just tried this exact task+workflow locally (https://gist.github.com/eapolinario/93c7c004e3051dae382ffcc137519211) and it worked. Can you double-check the python version and also flytekit version you're running?

Eric Hsiao
07/18/2022, 8:53 PMhey sorry I just stepped out. Let me check now
I'm using python 3.9.9 for that. The flyte versions are all the same
Copy code
➜ symphony_hall git:(main) ✗ pip freeze | grep flyte
flyteidl==1.1.9
flytekit==1.1.0trying python 3.10.4 to see if that makes a difference
Yeah it seems like the issue happens on the older version of python. I'll have to work around that for now. Thank you for your help :)

07/18/2022, 9:59 PMthere something weird going on, 3.9.9 is not that old (it came out in Nov-21). I also tried to repro this locally using that version, but I couldn't.

07/20/2022, 8:19 AMHI @Eric Hsiao I am trying to follow what you did here. I am experiencing the same problem with a workflow. All my boolean are failing. What did you do again?

Eric Hsiao
07/20/2022, 7:35 PM@George Odette I had my version of "click" pinned with another dependency at 7.1.1 so I upgraded it to the latest version
Copy code
pip install -U click2 Views
