Hi all, Running into a bit of an odd issue around pickling of a result with a recent change to an existing flow. The return type from the task is a List[<dataclass>]. Within the object, the properties are both strings. I’ve tried re-deploying the flow, and currently in progress of upgrading from 2.2.0 to 2.3.2. Anyone experience issues around cloud pickle on returning an object from a task? Stacktrace linked in comments

it looks like your dataclass object is not pickleable with cloudpickle, to troubleshoot you could try to cloudpickle it by hand not sure how helpful this info is but your stack trace seems to refer to this function in the cpython codebase: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/dataclasses.py#L413 having said that, we are working on more flexible result config functionality, which will give you more control over what results will be persisted and how

Yep, not totally clear why the object isn’t pickleable. I ended up swapping the dataclass model into a pydantic model and resolved the issue
