Cannot use dict or JSON types in Pydantic models as attributes

[mecampbellsoup]

Description

I'm trying to define a GQL Pydantic model w/ a JSON scalar attribute:

JSONScalar = strawberry.scalar(
    NewType("JSONScalar", Any),
    serialize=lambda v: v,
    parse_value=lambda v: json.loads(v),
    description="The GenericScalar scalar type represents a generic GraphQL scalar value that could be: List or Object."
)


class ResourcePyd(PydanticModel):
    type: str
    # TODO: Figure out how to use `Json` type for this attribute
    # spec: Optional[Json]
    # spec: Optional[str]
    spec: Optional[JSONScalar]

However I can't get Pydantic to comply:

Additionally when I try to use pydantic.Json or pydantic.JsonWrapper I get an UnsupportedTypeError thrown, which is obvious from reading the code:

https://github.com/strawberry-graphql/strawberry/blob/main/strawberry/experimental/pydantic/fields.py#L42-L43

Maybe it will be obvious to someone what I'm doing wrong here?

Here's what I needed to do to get JSONScalar working with inline values

JSONScalar = strawberry.scalar(
    NewType("JSONScalar", Any),
    serialize=lambda v: v,
    parse_value=lambda v: json.loads(v),
    parse_literal=graphql.utilities.value_from_ast_untyped,
)
