error while trying to build a parent-child stream in the connector builder. The error trace indicates a KeyError: 'type'
in the schema_inferrer.py
file. This suggests that there might be an issue with the schema definition for one of your streams. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue: 1. Check Schema Definitions: Ensure that all your stream schemas are correctly defined and include the type
field. The error indicates that the type
field is missing in one of the schema nodes. 2. Validate JSON Schema: Use a JSON schema validator to ensure that your schema definitions are correct and adhere to the expected format. 3. Simplify and Isolate: Try isolating the problematic stream by simplifying your configuration. Remove other streams and test each one individually to identify which stream's schema is causing the issue. 4. Review Parent-Child Configuration: Ensure that the parent-child relationship is correctly configured. The child stream should correctly reference the parent stream's field in its URL path. 5. Refer to Similar Issues: You can refer to similar issues that have been reported and resolved. For example, [Issue #33738](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/33738) was closed as a duplicate of a feature discussion, which might provide additional context or solutions. If you continue to face issues, you might want to open a new issue on the [Airbyte GitHub repository](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues) with detailed information about your configuration and the error trace. For more detailed guidance, you can also refer to the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/) or seek help from the community on the [Airbyte forum](https://discuss.airbyte.io/). If you have any specific parts of your schema or configuration that you would like to share, feel free to do so, and I can help you review them for potential issues.Luke Lerdal

06/02/2024, 5:14 AMCast Record Fields to Schema Types
feature to ensure that the fields are cast to the desired type during processing. ### Example Steps: 1. Update the Declared Schema: - In the Declared Schema tab, disable Automatically import detected schema
. - Update the schema to allow both number and string types for the parent ID. json { "parent_id": { "type": ["number", "string"] } }
2. Enable Casting: - Enable Cast Record Fields to Schema Types
in the Record Selector component. ### Example Configuration: json { "streams": [ { "name": "example_stream", "schema": { "properties": { "parent_id": { "type": ["number", "string"] } } }, "record_selector": { "type": "RecordSelector", "extractor": { "type": "DpathExtractor", "field_path": [] }, "cast_record_fields_to_schema_types": true } } ] }
By following these steps, you ensure that the parent_id
field is correctly interpreted as either a number or a string, depending on the data returned by the API. For more detailed information, you can refer to the [Record Processing Documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/connector-development/connector-builder-ui/record-processing#cast-record-fields-to-schema-types). If you continue to experience issues, please provide more details or check the [Airbyte GitHub Issues](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues) for similar cases.Luke Lerdal

is still being sent as a decimal value despite setting the type to number
or string
and enabling cast_record_fields_to_schema_types
, it might be due to how the casting is being handled internally. Here are a few steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve this issue: 1. Check the Declared Schema: Ensure that the declared schema is correctly set to allow both number
and string
types for the parent_id
. 2. Review the Casting Logic: Verify that the cast_record_fields_to_schema_types
feature is correctly enabled and functioning as expected. ### Example Configuration: 1. Update the Declared Schema: - Ensure the schema allows both number
and string
types for the parent_id
. json { "parent_id": { "type": ["number", "string"] } }
2. Enable Casting: - Ensure cast_record_fields_to_schema_types
is set to true
. json { "streams": [ { "name": "example_stream", "schema": { "properties": { "parent_id": { "type": ["number", "string"] } } }, "record_selector": { "type": "RecordSelector", "extractor": { "type": "DpathExtractor", "field_path": [] }, "cast_record_fields_to_schema_types": true } } ] }
### Additional Steps: 1. Review the API Response: Ensure that the API response is consistent and does not contain unexpected data types that might interfere with the casting process. 2. Check for Known Issues: Review the [Airbyte GitHub Issues](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues) for any known issues related to casting or schema handling. For example, there was a related issue with bad casting in the _cast_record_fields_if_needed
function ([GitHub Issue #24222](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/24222)). 3. Update Airbyte: Ensure you are using the latest version of Airbyte, as updates may include fixes for casting and schema handling issues. If the issue persists, you might want to open a new issue on the [Airbyte GitHub repository](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues) with detailed information about your configuration and the problem you are encountering. This will help the Airbyte team to investigate and provide a solution.
