Hello everybody!

So I have this interesting use case that I cannot seem to be able to handle. I have a module with two interfaces, Base (which is sealed) and Data that extends it, and subclasses of Data that cannot be changed, and I have other modules where I can do anything. The comments in the code below should hopefully guide you. Data interface should be serialized taking into account only its text property (I use ConcreteData for deserializing). The issue is that while I can serialize arbitrary subclasses (represented by RandomData) in the context of Data, I cannot seem to do it in the context of Base.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Pretty sure you're running into the same issue I posted literally the message above yours.

Actually your error seems to be regarding Boolean, which is the generic type in your case. I am pretty sure your code works without generics, whereas mine doesn't (no generics involved at all). Although, the solution to this might be shared, like somehow providing a serializer for the common superclass (in your case Any, in my case Data). But you would have no method to serialize Any at runtime, so maybe in your case it can actually be fixed with a registered contextual serializer.

Fair enough. I see you've already tried that solution with customSerializersModule though.

Contextual serializer didn't work for my use case. Wrapping my T value into a sealed ValueHolder<T> type did work though.
