Good afternoon! I am upgrading some old code from Dagster 1.1.7 to 1.2.6. In doing so, i am encountering an error and not seeing an obvious solution. Any help would be appreciated!

Could not resolve the metatdata value for "schema" to a known type. Value is not JSON serializable.

I have tracked the code down a bit, and I believe this is happening within node.py in Dagster. There seems to be a normalize_metadata function that is verifying the types of the AssetOut metadata parameters. I have debugged it to find that the culprit is the object

schema: {'link': str}

I thought that str was an acceptable metadata type according to https://docs.dagster.io/_modules/dagster/_core/definitions/metadata, so I am confused as to why i am getting this error. Any help would be appreciated!

hi @stefan hansan! thanks for the report -- we're looking into this

Great, thank you! Please let me know if you can think of a workaround for the time being so i can get my unit tests to pass 😅

gotcha -- this behavior is due to a bug that will be fixed in this week's (1.3) release. so the best solution for now may be to downgrade to an earlier dagster version 😞

All good, thanks for the info!
