Production note: Most teams hit this during upgrades or environment changes. Roll out with a canary and smoke critical endpoints (health, OpenAPI/docs) before 100%.

Why This Fix Works in Production

  • Trigger: E ixmp4.core.exceptions.BadFilterArguments: OptimizationScalarFilter [{'type': 'extra_forbidden', 'loc': ['run_id'], 'msg': 'Extra inputs are not…
  • Mechanism: The 'alias' attribute was used in invalid contexts, leading to warnings
  • Why the fix works: Emit warning when field-specific metadata is used in invalid contexts. (first fixed release: 2.11.8).
Production impact:
  • If left unfixed, the same config can fail only in production (env differences), causing startup failures or partial feature outages.

Why This Breaks in Prod

  • Shows up under Python 3.12 in real deployments (not just unit tests).
  • The 'alias' attribute was used in invalid contexts, leading to warnings
  • Surfaces as: E ixmp4.core.exceptions.BadFilterArguments: OptimizationScalarFilter [{'type': 'extra_forbidden', 'loc': ['run_id'], 'msg': 'Extra inputs are not permitted', 'input': 1, 'url':…

Minimal Reproduction

repro.py
from ixmp4.db import Session, filters, sql class OptimizationScalarFilter(filters.BaseFilter, metaclass=filters.FilterMeta): id: filters.Id | None = filters.Field(None) name: filters.String | None = filters.Field(None) run__id: filters.Integer | None = filters.Field(None, alias="run_id") unit__id: filters.Integer | None = filters.Field(None, alias="unit_id")

Environment

  • Python: 3.12
  • Pydantic: 2

What Broke

CI suite failed due to warnings affecting the filtering system.

Why It Broke

The 'alias' attribute was used in invalid contexts, leading to warnings

Fix Options (Details)

Option A — Upgrade to fixed release Safe default (recommended)

pip install pydantic==2.11.8

When NOT to use: This fix is not applicable if using unsupported field attributes intentionally.

Use when you can deploy the upstream fix. It is usually lower-risk than long-lived workarounds.

Option C — Workaround Temporary workaround

When NOT to use: This fix is not applicable if using unsupported field attributes intentionally.

Use only if you cannot change versions today. Treat this as a stopgap and remove once upgraded.

Did This Fix Work in Your Case?

Quick signal helps us prioritize which fixes to verify and improve.

Prevention
