Are task

run

methods allowed to return arbitrary objects?

class ReturnObject:
  def__init__(self, value: str = "hello", list: List = ["world"]):
    self.value = value
    self.list = list

class MyTask(Task):
  def run(self) -> ReturnObject:
    return ReturnObject("some value", ["a", "b", "c"])

task = MyTask()

with Flow() as flow:
  result = task()
  some_other_task(param1=result.value, param2=result.list)

If I try to run this code, I’ll get an error like

AttributeError: 'MyTask' object has no attribute 'value'

Hi Josh - you’re conflating runtime with build time; the result of the first task isn’t available until you’ve run the code, the flow context manager is only building the dependency structure. You can return arbitrary objects from tasks but you cannot access their attributes as you’re doing here — instead you should perform that attribute access within

some_other_task
