Im encountering a strange problem: the default behavior of the .body() method doesn't use the proper serializers, but if I do it manually then it works

This works:

private suspend inline fun <reified T> post(endpoint: String, crossinline body: () -> Any): T {
        return withContext(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) {
            val text = <http://httpClient.post|httpClient.post>("$API_URL/$endpoint") {
                parameter("key", API_KEY)
                setBody(body())
            }.bodyAsText()

            json.decodeFromString(serializer<T>(), text)
        }
    }

This doesn't work:

private suspend inline fun <reified T> post(endpoint: String, crossinline body: () -> Any): T {
        return withContext(<http://Dispatchers.IO|Dispatchers.IO>) {
            <http://httpClient.post|httpClient.post>("$API_URL/$endpoint") {
                parameter("key", API_KEY)
                setBody(body())
            }.body()
        }
    }

Did you install the Content Negotiation plugin for your Ktor client?

yep

it only happens for typealias with a serializer
normal classes work fine

type erasure problem?

could be, I'm not sure how I'd check
