v0.9.4 breaks the returns.json decorator with type=int

[nilsvu]

Before v0.9.4 this code worked and converted the JSON field to an int:

    @uplink.returns.json(key=('metadata', 'length'), type=int)
    @uplink.get('records/{id}')
    def get_record_length(self, record_id: uplink.Path(name='id')):
        pass

With v0.9.4 the endpoint returns a <Response [200]> object instead of the expected int.

Am I not using the type argument of returns.json as intended? It would be very useful to be able to do simple type conversions such as this without having to write a model.

I see the same thing. Didn’t realize that this used to work.

I have PR #229 prepped to fix this issue.

I've merged #229, so this should be fixed in the next minor release. I'm planning to conduct a release for v0.9.6 sometime in the next week.

Here's the tentative CHANGELOG entry:

• Fix @returns.json to cast the JSON response (or field referenced by the key argument) using the type argument when it is a callable type. This effectively reverts a change in the decorator's behavior that was introduced in v0.9.3.

Let me know if anyone has any thoughts on the entry's clarity. I'm hoping the above message conveys the change's impact succinctly.

This issue should be fixed in v0.9.6
