Description

tests/test_autogenerated_doccode/recipes/test_tunnel_inventory.py has been failing on dev since the tunnel recipe merged in #901, which also means TestDocBuild is red for anything branched from it. The cause is not in the recipe.

OpticalPathAnnotation.value defaults to True, so a bare flag — noisy over an interval — needs no value written. Inventory.to_yaml leaves out any field still holding its default. But 1 == True in Python, and pydantic's exclude_defaults compares with ==, so an annotation whose value is the number 1 is dropped as though it were the flag default:

annotation = OpticalPathAnnotation(start_distance=0.0, end_distance=10.0, group="borehole", value=1)
# ...in an inventory:
text = inventory.to_yaml()          # no `value:` line for this annotation
dc.inventory(text)                  # InvalidInventoryError: group 'borehole'
                                    # mixes ['boolean', 'numeric'] values

Reloading gives the annotation True, the group then holds a boolean beside the numbers next to it, and the group-holds-one-kind rule refuses the whole document. Any group numbered from one — boreholes 1, 2, 3, which is what the recipe writes — cannot survive a round trip.

Identity, not equality, is what "still its default" means for a field whose type admits both bool and int, so a wrap serializer puts the value back unless it is True itself. A flag annotation still writes no value, so documents which use the default stay as terse as they were.

This is the same shape as the existing fix for the object_type tag in dascore/models/base.py, which exclude_defaults also drops and which is also put back by a wrap serializer.

Changelog

  • fixed: an optical path annotation whose value is the number 1 is no longer dropped when an inventory is serialized, which had made any annotation group numbered from one fail to reload.

Checklist

I have:

  • filled in the Changelog section above (see docs/contributing/general_guidelines.qmd).

I have (if applicable):

  • referenced the GitHub issue this PR closes.
  • documented the new feature with docstrings and/or appropriate doc page.
  • included tests. See testing guidelines.
  • added the "ready_for_review" tag once the PR is ready to be reviewed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed serialization of optical path annotations so numeric values, including 1, are preserved correctly.
    • Ensured annotation type information survives YAML round trips.
    • Maintained support for explicit field inclusion and exclusion during serialization.
    • Default-valued boolean fields continue to be omitted when appropriate.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for annotation serialization, filtering, round trips, and invalid mixed value types.

`OpticalPathAnnotation.value` defaults to True so a bare flag needs no
value, and `to_yaml` drops what is still its default. But `1 == True`,
so a group numbered from one lost every `1` on the way out: the
document reloaded with a boolean where a number had been, the group
then held two kinds of value, and the whole inventory was refused.

The tunnel recipe does exactly this -- boreholes numbered 1, 2, 3 --
so its doc-code test has been failing on dev since the recipe merged.

Identity is what "still its default" means for a field whose type
includes both bool and int, so the value goes back into the document
unless it is True itself. A flag annotation still writes no value.

P2 Badge Preserve inherited class tagging for annotations

When an OpticalPathAnnotation is dumped in JSON mode, this subclass serializer becomes the active model serializer instead of the inherited DascoreBaseModel._write_object_type, because Pydantic applies only one model serializer. Consequently direct and nested JSON/YAML output omits object_type: OpticalPathAnnotation, contradicting the universal tagging contract in tests/test_models.py:514-548; a standalone annotation document then has no tag for resolve_tagged_model and cannot be dispatched. Compose this value-preservation logic with the base serializer rather than declaring a second model serializer.

P2 Badge Respect callers that deliberately exclude the value

When value is non-True and a caller intentionally filters it—for example with model_dump(exclude={"value"}) or model_dump(include={"group"})—the handler correctly omits the field, but this unconditional absence check adds it back. That violates the public include/exclude semantics explicitly preserved for model serializers in tests/test_models.py:532-542 and can expose data a caller deliberately excluded; restore the field only when its absence came from exclude_defaults, while honoring info.include and info.exclude.

Declaring a second model serializer took the base's place rather than
sitting beside it -- pydantic runs one per class -- so every annotation
document lost the object_type it is dispatched by. And putting the
value back whenever it was absent overrode a caller who had asked for
it to be left out, through exclude or include.

The base's serializer is now extended rather than replaced, and the
value goes back only where exclude_defaults dropped it: what anyone
filtered on purpose stays filtered.

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

For Pydantic 2.1, does a wrap model serializer receive an empty SerializationInfo.includewhenmodel_dump(include=set()) is called?

💡 Result:

In Pydantic 2.1, when model_dump(include=set()) (or an empty set) is called, the SerializationInfo.include property received by a wrap model serializer is typically empty or None, rather than containing the explicitly passed empty set [1][2]. Pydantic's serialization logic for include and exclude parameters is designed to filter fields during the recursion of the model tree [1]. When an empty set is provided to model_dump, the serialization process interprets this as a request to include no fields. Consequently, when the serializer is invoked, the SerializationInfo object reflects the active include rules for the current level of the model [1][3]. If no specific fields are selected for that level, info.include will generally not contain the empty set literal passed to the top-level method, as the internal state has already processed or reduced the inclusion rules for that specific model instance [1]. Technical discussions indicate that info.include and info.exclude in serializer contexts reflect the current sub-level's filtering requirements rather than the global, top-level arguments passed to model_dump [1]. If no further fields are to be included, this property is typically empty [1]. Users should be aware that passing include or exclude parameters to handlers within wrap serializers can lead to unexpected behavior if not handled precisely, as these parameters are intended to filter nested structures during the serialization process [1][4].

Pydantic 2.1 SerializationInfo.include wrap model serializer model_dump(include=set()) exact behavior

💡 Result:

In Pydantic V2, when using a @model_serializer with mode='wrap', the serialization handler (the next_serializer argument) does not automatically reconcile the include/exclude parameters passed to model_dump if not handled manually [1][2]. When you call model_dump(include=set), the SerializationInfo object passed to your wrapper function contains the serialization state, including these parameters [2][3]. However, simply passing the model instance (self) back to the handler often results in an error (e.g., PydanticOmit) or the ignoring of the include/exclude set because the wrapper function is expected to correctly manage or propagate these constraints [1][4]. Key behaviors identified: 1. Manual Propagation: If you are in a wrap serializer and wish to respect the include/exclude sets defined at the top level, you must ensure that your handler receives the appropriate arguments [2]. A common pitfall is passing the model instance (self) incorrectly or failing to pass the info object where the handler expects it [1][4]. 2. PydanticOmit Exceptions: Attempting to call the handler with improper arguments when an include set is active can trigger a PydanticOmit exception [1][4]. This occurs because the serialization logic is interrupted by the custom serializer's failure to return a valid serialized output for the requested fields [1]. 3. SerializationInfo State: The SerializationInfo object does contain information about the current serialization state [3]. While you can inspect info.include or info.exclude, Pydantic does not automatically apply these filters to your custom return value; you must manually ensure that any object returned from your wrap serializer respects the requested inclusion [2]. If you intend to perform custom serialization while still allowing Pydantic to filter fields, the most reliable approach is to delegate the standard serialization logic to the handler while ensuring you are not interfering with the internal state the handler expects [4]. If the custom logic is intended to only modify specific parts, you may need to perform the filtering yourself or ensure the handler is called with the correct context [2].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/pydantic/pydantic "info.include" "model_serializer"

💡 Result:

In Pydantic, info.include refers to the include parameter passed to a serialization method (like model_dump) within a custom serialization context [1][2]. When using a custom serializer (such as @model_serializer or @field_serializer), you can accept an info argument of type SerializationInfo [2]. This object contains metadata about the current serialization process, including the include and exclude sets that were passed to the top-level serialization call [1][2]. Key points regarding info.include: - Contextual Availability: The info.include attribute allows your custom serializer to programmatically inspect which fields the user requested to include [1][2]. - Dynamic Handling: It is often used in wrap mode serializers to manually pass the include or exclude settings down to the standard serialization logic (the handler), allowing for custom behavior that still respects the user's requested field filtering [3][4]. - Empty State: If no include filter is provided during the model_dump call, info.include may be empty or None [1]. - Pydantic Core Integration: This mechanism is a part of Pydantic's serialization API, designed to provide developers with the flexibility to override or modify serialization while still conforming to the parameters defined by the caller [1][5]. If you are implementing a custom serializer, ensure your function signature accepts the info argument: def my_serializer(self, info: SerializationInfo): # Check what fields were requested for inclusion if info.include: # Custom logic using info.include pass... This allows your code to remain aware of the broader serialization configuration applied by the end user [2].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/pydantic/pydantic "include=set()" serializer

💡 Result:

The syntax include=set() or include={...} (a set of strings) is used in Pydantic serialization methods, such as model_dump(), to control which fields are included in the serialized output [1][2]. Key details regarding this usage: 1. Functionality: When you pass a set to the include parameter in model_dump(), Pydantic filters the output to only include the fields listed in the set [1]. Conversely, exclude does the opposite, removing specified fields [1]. 2. Data Structure: These parameters typically accept sets or dictionaries [2][3]. While often documented as Set[str], they are implemented to support filtering logic that checks for key membership [4]. 3. Nested Models: For nested models, you can use a dictionary where the keys are the field names and the values are nested sets or dictionaries defining which sub-fields to include [1]. 4. Common Issues: * Serialization Errors: Users occasionally encounter PydanticOmit or PydanticSerializationError when combining include/exclude with custom model_serializer or field_serializer methods, as these custom serializers may require specific handling of the include/exclude context [5][6][7][8]. * Type Checking: Some users have reported that strict type checkers may flag inputs like frozenset or tuples, even if they technically function, because the official type hints are often restricted to set and dict [3][9][10]. In summary, include=set() is the standard, documented way to whitelist fields during serialization in Pydantic V2 [1][2]. If you are encountering issues, it is often due to interactions with custom serializers rather than the include parameter itself [7][8].

Pydantic SerializationInfo include empty set model_dump include empty set

💡 Result:

In Pydantic V2, when using model_dump(), the include and exclude parameters are used to filter fields [1][2]. The SerializationInfo object provided to custom serializers contains metadata about the current serialization process, including the include and exclude settings [1][3]. Observations regarding include and exclude behavior: 1. Empty SerializationInfo: When calling model_dump() without specific include or exclude arguments, the corresponding properties in SerializationInfo (e.g., info.include) are typically empty or None [4]. This is expected behavior, as there are no active filters to propagate to that specific field or nested model [4]. 2. Propagation in Custom Serializers: If you are using a model_serializer or field_serializer with mode='wrap', you must manually pass the info object to the handler to ensure that filtering (including include and exclude logic) is applied to nested models correctly [5][6]. If the handler is called without the info object, or if custom logic fails to respect it, serialization filters may appear to be ignored [5][6]. 3. Empty Set vs. None: If you specifically pass an empty set to model_dump(include=set()), Pydantic will interpret this as an instruction to include no fields, typically resulting in an empty dictionary (excluding cases where model logic or default behavior overrides this). If you are encountering issues where include or exclude seems to be ignored in custom serializers, verify that: - Your serializer is using mode='wrap' [7][5]. - You are correctly passing the info argument into the handler call (e.g., handler(self, info) or handler(value, info)) [5][6]. If you need to exclude specific empty containers (like empty lists or sets) from the final output, Pydantic does not have a native exclude_empty parameter for model_dump() [7]. This is best handled using a @model_serializer(mode='wrap') to post-process the dictionary returned by the handler [7]. [7] [5] [6]

Preserve empty include filters.

When model_dump(include=set()) is used, info.include contains the empty set. The current condition treats it as no filter and restores value. Use include is None or field in include, and add a regression test.

In `@dascore/core/inventory.py` around lines 672 - 673, Update the include-filter
check around info.include to distinguish None from an empty set: allow the field
only when include is None or field is present in include, so
model_dump(include=set()) remains empty. Add a regression test covering this
behavior.

Both taken, in 6ea85c67. They were the same defect seen from two sides: a second @model_serializer on the subclass does not sit beside the base's, it replaces it.

The class tag was being dropped. Pydantic runs one model serializer per class, so _keep_the_value took DascoreBaseModel._write_object_type's place and every annotation document lost the object_type it is dispatched by:

annotation.model_dump(mode="json")
# before: {..., 'group': 'g', 'value': 2}          <- no object_type
# after:  {..., 'group': 'g', 'value': 2, 'object_type': 'OpticalPathAnnotation'}

The base's serializer is now extended rather than declared beside, so the tag is written first and the value goes back after it.

A deliberately excluded value came back. Restoring on absence alone overrode the caller's own filtering. Restoration is now limited to what exclude_defaults dropped, and include/exclude are honoured:

annotation.model_dump(mode="json", exclude={"value"})   # no value
annotation.model_dump(mode="json", include={"group"})   # no value

Both are pinned by tests. tests/test_models.py passes with the rest: 10,180 passed, lint clean twice, doctests 154 passed.
