There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think the process function with input parameter defaulting to None is not covered by this test, correct? Can you add to nightly tests which are exactly the process function manifest the case?

That is already being tested:
Here we are adding the same behavior for any other process, such as
CalcJob and WorkChain.

Ah, I see. The FunctionProcess is subclass of Process I thought this PR is going to fix the bug introduced by the previously added feature for None supported input.
It is all good to me! Thanks!

The tests for the Sphinx extension for process specifications worked using a direct comparison of the parsed XML file. Although this worked fine, we have the `pytest-regressions` plugin for this which handles this automatically, including a useful switch `--force-regen` to regenerate the reference file if it is supposed to change.

Python functions and process functions accept `None` for arguments
that define that as a default without any issues. That is to say,
the following works just fine:
from aiida.engine import calcfunction
@calcfunction
def accepts_none(a=None):
pass
accepts_none()
accepts_none(None)
For a `Process`, however, `None` is not accepted even if the port is not
required. This can be annoying for users because when writing wrappers
around a process launcher, they will have to manually check for one of
the inputs being `None` and remove it before submitting the input
dictionary.
Here we update the `InputPort` constructor to automatically add the
`NoneType` to the `valid_type` argument if the port is marked as
`required=False`. This way, non-required ports will accept `None`
without raising an exception during input validation.

@sphuber unfortunately I think this change has had some unintended backwards-incompatible side effects. When trying to run a $ verdi process report 12099

Thanks for letting us know @mbercx . I think this was actually really an inaccuracy that was anyway hiding in the elif port.valid_type == orm.Dict and isinstance(value, dict):to valid_types = port.valid_type if isinstance(port.valid_type, (list, tuple)) else (port.valid_type,)
