What this PR does / why we need it:
Before this fix, we weren't performing a partial resolution pass on module template inputs before validating them against the input schema. This looks like it was a simple oversight (there's definitely no point in partially resolving an always-empty object).
This would result in validation errors e.g. when the schema declares a boolean field but the unresolved template is still a string value.
Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Fixes #4946.
Special notes for your reviewer:
While looking at the code around input resolution and validation, I noticed that we never apply the input schema (as defined in e.g.
schema.json
) against the fully resolved inputs.It looks like the idea here is to allow the user to pass through template strings that reference e.g. runtime values, which get resolved later in the flow.
If that's the case, then this may cause some surprising behaviour, since a template string for an input value that's supposed to resolve e.g. to a number or a boolean will fail validation because it's still a (template) string. CC @edvald
If this is the way we intend it to be, we should mention this wrinkle in our guide for config templates.
