Input field Optional[OneToManyInput] is a required field in the resulting schema

Hey @gersmann ,

Hrm, I'm trying to replicate the issue here but it is working fine for me. The schema shows as not required and I can not send service at all to the input and it will work. It will not work if the field cannot be null though, for obvious reasons.

Can you provide more information regarding this? Like, the traceback itself, how are you doing the mutation, etc?

[gersmann]

@bellini666 you're right, not sure how that schema came to be, I didn't reproduce the problem correctly. It happens when inheriting a base type, this should reproduce it:

@gql.django.input(ServiceInstance)
class ServiceInstancePartialInput(NodeInput):
    id: gql.ID
    service: Optional[OneToManyInput]
    key: Optional[str]

@gql.django.input(Connector)
class ConnectorPartialInput(ServiceInstancePartialInput):
    pass

@gql.type
class ServiceMutation:
    update_connector: ConnectorType = gql.django.update_mutation(ConnectorPartialInput)

{
  "data": null,
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Field 'ConnectorPartialInput.service' of required type 'OneToManyInput!' was not provided.",
      "locations": [
        {
          "line": 18,
          "column": 25
        }
      ],
      "path": null
    }
  ]
}

Noticed that inheritance behaves a bit strange in general, for instance if case a Django foreign key relationship is inherited, it is represented by the generic DjangoModelType, but if it is defined directly on the child type, it is represented by the correct concrete GraphQL type.

Hey @gersmann ,

You are calling your types Partial, but you are using gql.django.input on them instead of gql.django.partial (or even gql.django.input(partial=True)). That may be the issue with it being required.

Don't know if I understood what you meant here... Could you provide an example of that too?

@bellini666

sorry for the screenshots, haven't been able to export the schema with django yet (apps aren't ready...)

So this definitiion:

@gql.django.type(Customer)
class CustomerType:
    id: gql.auto
    name: gql.auto


@gql.django.type(ServiceInstance)
class ServiceInstanceType:
    customer: CustomerType

@gql.django.type(Connector)
class ConnectorType(ServiceInstanceType):
    pass

@gql.type
class Query:
    service_instances: List[ServiceInstanceType] = gql.field()
    connectors: List[ConnectorType] = gql.field()

Gives me for ServiceInstanceType:

But for ConnectorType:

Thats what I meant this inheritance behaving a bit strange.

This here replicates the original issue, also seems like it is inheritance-related:

@gql.django.input(ServiceInstance)
class ServiceInstanceInput:
    service: Optional[OneToManyInput]


@gql.django.input(Connector)
class ConnectorInput(ServiceInstanceInput):
    updated_at: gql.auto


@strawberry.type
class Mutation:
    create_service_instance: ServiceInstanceType = gql.django.create_mutation(ServiceInstanceInput)
    create_connector: ConnectorType = gql.django.create_mutation(ConnectorInput)

ServiceInstanceInput:

ConnectorInput:

Hey @gersmann ,

Think I found the issue. Should be fixed in the release I'm doing right now. Please reopen this issue if it is not

[gersmann]

@bellini666 Thanks a lot.
