Fixes #187.

get_kind() decided each generated field's type annotation via
isinstance(item, AttributeSchema) / isinstance(item, RelationshipSchema)
— the SDK's write-side schema classes. But infrahub-sync generate
calls client.schema.all(), which returns the SDK's read-side classes
(AttributeSchemaAPI / RelationshipSchemaAPI).

At infrahub-sdk==1.18.1 those read-side classes happened to subclass the
write-side ones, so the isinstance checks passed. At infrahub-sdk==1.23.0
that inheritance was removed, so the checks silently failed and get_kind()
fell through to its "str" default — dropping optional/None/list[...]
handling. In practice, e.g. any optional attribute (like description) got
generated as a required str, causing pydantic validation errors for any
real-world node where that field is empty/null.

Fix

Split get_kind() into get_attribute_type_annotation() and
get_relationship_type_annotation(). The template already knows at each
call site whether it's rendering an attribute or a relationship, so the
runtime hasattr(item, "cardinality") branch was unnecessary — each
function is now called from the exact place that knows which one applies,
and neither depends on which concrete SDK class it receives.

Verification

  • 162 passed, 3 skipped (uv run pytest -q).
  • uv run invoke lint clean on touched files.
  • Manually verified against a live Infrahub instance with
    infrahub-sdk==1.23.0 forced: before the fix, an optional description
    attribute generated as "str"; after, "str | None = None". A many
    relationship (tags) went from "str" to "list[str] | None = []".

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved generated model type annotations for attributes and relationships.
    • Correctly represents optional fields, default values, and one-to-many relationships.
    • Improved compatibility with read-side SDK schema definitions.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for supported attribute types, relationship cardinality, optional values, and unmapped types.

…hema classes

client.schema.all() returns infrahub-sdk's read-side schema objects
(AttributeSchemaAPI/RelationshipSchemaAPI). At infrahub-sdk 1.18.1 those
subclassed AttributeSchema/RelationshipSchema, so get_kind()'s isinstance
checks happened to work; infrahub-sdk 1.23.0 split the class hierarchy so
they no longer do, and every attribute/relationship silently fell through
to the "str" default -- dropping optional/None/list[...] handling. Checking
for a `cardinality` attribute instead of a specific base class is robust to
that kind of SDK refactor.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The generator replaces get_kind with separate attribute and relationship annotation functions. The Jinja2 model template uses the corresponding filters for each field type. The annotation logic preserves attribute kind mapping, optional defaults, and relationship cardinality handling. Tests cover duck-typed schema objects and read-side SDK schema classes.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7ca68

The change restores correct optional and relationship type annotations for newer SDK schema objects, preventing generated models from rejecting valid null or list values. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains; only a minor test-documentation follow-up is noted.

hasattr()-based narrowing doesn't inform ty's type narrowing the way
isinstance() does, so it still saw item as RelationshipSchema | AttributeSchema
inside each branch and flagged the cross-branch attribute accesses
(default_value on the relationship branch, cardinality on the attribute
branch). Cast to the appropriate type in each branch instead, matching the
runtime check we already made.

…nature

Adds tests/test_generator_get_kind.py, which exercises get_kind() against
schema-shaped objects that deliberately do NOT subclass AttributeSchema/
RelationshipSchema, plus the real infrahub-sdk read-side classes
(AttributeSchemaAPI/RelationshipSchemaAPI). Confirmed these tests fail
against the pre-fix isinstance-based get_kind() (9/14 failures) and pass
against the duck-typed version, so they guard the regression from #187
regardless of which infrahub-sdk version a future lockfile resolves.

Also replaces get_kind()'s `Union[RelationshipSchema, AttributeSchema]`
parameter type with a `_AttributeLike | _RelationshipLike` Protocol union,
since the isinstance-free implementation no longer actually requires either
concrete class -- the old annotation was a check `ty` could no longer verify
once real call sites (including these tests) pass API-side schema objects.

Templates already know whether a field is an attribute or relationship,
so the hasattr(item, "cardinality") duck-typing check in get_kind() was
unnecessary indirection. get_attribute_type_annotation() and
get_relationship_type_annotation() are called from the exact template
site that knows which one applies, removing the runtime branch.

1. Optional+unique attributes become nullable DiffSync identifiers → records collide

infrahub_sync/generator/__init__.py:136

get_identifiers() selects any attribute with unique=True. If that attribute is also optional=True, this PR now emits it as serial: str | None = None instead of the previous required str.

Verified: DiffSyncModel.get_unique_id() returns the literal string 'None' for every record whose identifier is null — so all of them collapse into a single DiffSync object. Silent record loss during sync, garbage output from diff. Pre-fix (at sdk ≥1.23) the field was a required str and pydantic raised loudly instead.

Either exclude optional attributes from get_identifiers(), or suppress the | None = None for fields that end up in _identifiers.

2. Unescaped default_value interpolated into generated Python source

infrahub_sync/generator/__init__.py:141

annotation += f' = "{item.default_value}"'

Verified with compile():

schema default_value emitted result
he said "hi" x: str | None = "he said "hi"" SyntaxError
line1\nline2 (breaks the line) SyntaxError: unterminated string literal
C:\path x: str | None = "C:\path" invalid escape sequence (SyntaxWarning now, error in future Python)

And it fails quietly: utils.py:96 catches SyntaxError from the generated module and only logger.warnings before falling back to the plugin loader, so the user gets a confusing wrong-adapter fallback rather than a clear error.

Fix is the same as finding 11 — use !r for every branch.

3. The real-SDK attribute test asserts only the fallback value

tests/test_generator.py:83-87

Both assertions use AttributeKind.TEXT, which maps to "str" — exactly what ATTRIBUTE_KIND_MAP.get(item.kind, "str") returns on a total lookup failure.

Verified: with ATTRIBUTE_KIND_MAP emptied, optional_attr still yields 'str | None = None' and required_attr still yields 'str'. Both assertions pass against a completely broken kind map. The one test that touches the classes client.schema.all() actually returns cannot detect the failure mode of #187.

Use AttributeKind.NUMBER"int". Line 96 (one_rel"str", the function's seed value) has the same problem; line 93 is fine as written.

4. Nothing renders the template — the filter rename is untested

infrahub_sync/generator/templates/diffsync_models.j2:38

Jinja resolves filter names as strings at render time. grep over tests/ finds zero references to render_template, render_adapter, diffsync_models or jinja. A typo in either new filter name, or a missed registration in render_template, surfaces only during a real infrahub-sync generate against a live server. A ~15-line test that renders the template from a fake schema and asserts the emitted field lines would cover the rename and the annotation output end to end.

5. CI cannot reproduce the bug this PR fixes

pyproject.toml:18, uv.lock:548

The constraint is >=1.17,<2; the lock pins 1.18.1; the .venv has drifted to 1.22.2. Verified: at both of those versions the read-side classes still subclass the write-side ones, so old and new produce byte-identical output — the regression is invisible to the suite. The only real signal arrives whenever update-infrahub-sdk.yml lands a ≥1.23 lock. Worth raising the floor or adding a 1.23 CI leg so the fix is actually exercised.

6. _AttributeLike.kind: Any disables the only static check that could catch a repeat

infrahub_sync/generator/__init__.py:121

ATTRIBUTE_KIND_MAP is dict[str, str], so kind has to be str-compatible for the lookup to hit. Any means ty accepts an AttributeKind that has lost its str mixin — the precise shape of #187 — and every attribute silently degrades to str again. Typing it str makes ty flag it the day the SDK changes.

Worth noting the Protocols give no static protection on the production path either: the real call sites are jinja filter strings, which no type checker inspects. Their only checked call sites are in the test file.

7. The docstring lost the rationale that justifies the design

tests/test_generator.py:1

The previous version (commit b253bb3) explained that "at infrahub-sdk 1.18.1 the read-side classes happened to subclass the write-side ones … at 1.23.0 that inheritance was removed" and that the fakes "exist so this suite fails if get_kind() is ever changed back to an isinstance-based check", with a link to #187. The rewrite kept only "not just on the write-side classes."

Combined with finding 5, this is how the fix gets reverted: on the current lockfile old and new behave identically, so the next maintainer who checks concludes the Protocols are ceremony. Please restore the version pivot and the issue link.

8. The fix stops at the leaf — the pipeline above it still uses write-side types

infrahub_sync/utils.py:24

utils.py:24/28/42 type the schema mapping as MutableMapping[str, Union[NodeSchema, GenericSchema]], and cli.py:403 does cast("MutableMapping[str, NodeSchema | GenericSchema]", schema) under a comment admitting the SDK returns *SchemaAPI variants.

Verified: NodeSchemaAPI is not a subclass of NodeSchema at 1.22.2 or 1.23.0. That cast is the same class-identity error this PR set out to fix, one frame up, and it is exactly what suppressed the checker that would have caught #187. adapters/infrahub.py:42 already types its schema MainSchemaTypesAPI correctly — doing the same here and deleting the cast is the deeper fix.

9. Two competing conventions for the same SDK contract

infrahub_sync/generator/__init__.py:118

adapters/infrahub.py:16 already imports GenericSchemaAPI, NodeSchemaAPI, RelationshipSchemaAPI and isinstance-checks against them (lines 77, 616). The generator now expresses the same "what client.schema.all() returns" contract as hand-rolled private Protocols. The next SDK break has to be found and fixed in two idioms. Annotating with AttributeSchemaAPI/RelationshipSchemaAPI reuses the existing convention and fails loudly at import on a rename rather than silently at generate time.

10. No guard left at all for unrecognized cardinality

infrahub_sync/generator/__init__.py:154

Verified: 'ONE', 'MANY', '' and None all return 'str'. The old code at least distinguished "not a RelationshipSchema". This is the same silent-degradation mode as #187 — a mis-routed object or a change in how cardinality is represented yields a plausible-looking but wrong model with no error. A raise, or at minimum a structlog warning, would surface it at generate time.

11. The default-value ladder collapses to !r

infrahub_sync/generator/__init__.py:139-145

repr() already produces valid Python for every type the three branches special-case, and unlike the manual f' = "{...}"' it escapes quotes, newlines and backslashes. Six lines become one, and finding 2 disappears:

annotation += f" = {item.default_value!r}"

Only the emitted quote style changes (the parametrize case at line 61 becomes "str | None = 'foo'").

12. Defaulted fields can now precede non-defaulted ones

infrahub_sync/generator/templates/diffsync_models.j2:38

Verified rendering: description: str | None = None is followed by speed: int. Fine for DiffSyncModel (pydantic v2), but _ModelBaseClass comes from PluginLoader.resolve(), which returns an unconstrained type[Any] from a user-supplied module. A dataclass or attrs base raises TypeError: non-default argument 'speed' follows default argument at import. Before this fix no field ever had a default, so ordering was always safe.

13. list[str] | None = [] — annotation and default disagree

infrahub_sync/generator/__init__.py:162

One adapter yielding None and the other yielding [] for the same absent relationship compare as unequal, so diff reports a delta that never converges and sync "fixes" it on every run. Either default to None to match the annotation, or drop the | None.

14. Missing changelog fragment

changelog/

pyproject.toml:352-362 configures towncrier (directory = "changelog", orphan_prefix = "+"), and sibling fix commits on this branch added +sync-66-netbox-l2-mode.fixed.md and +sync-30-relationship-update-attribution.fixed.md. A fix that changes every generated model's field types ships unannounced. No CI job checks for one. Suggest changelog/+187-generator-schema-api-annotations.fixed.md.

15. Commit 6b0513f breaks two AGENTS.md rules

AGENTS.md states "Commit subject: imperative 'what changed.'" and "Agents must identify themselves (e.g. Co-Authored-By: ...)". 6b0513f "Removed unneeded type casting" is past tense and carries no Co-Authored-By trailer, unlike the other six commits in this PR.
