Description
aiogram version
3.x
Problem
Documentation say Ignored if the file is not uploaded using multipart/form-data. Thumbnails can't be reused and can be only uploaded as a new file, so you can pass “attach://<file_attach_name>" if the thumbnail was uploaded using multipart/form-data under <file_attach_name>
.
So using Union[str, ...]
have meaning only in Bot API documentation context, because aiogram
for this use InputFile
that after serialization turns into string that related to multipart
.
Using Union[InputFile, str]
can discourage, because usually it means that instead of InputFile
can be used url
or file_id
, but not in this context.
Possible solution
Change Optional[Union[InputFile, str]]
and Union[InputFile, str]
to Optional[InputFile]
and InputFile
.
