Access documents by id will throw an error when setting the BaseDoc field type to "Dict" #1690
Description
Initial Checks
- I have read and followed the docs and still think this is a bug
Description
When runnning this: (reference: access-documents-by-id )
import numpy as np
from docarray import BaseDoc, DocList
from docarray.index import InMemoryExactNNIndex
from docarray.typing import NdArray
from typing import Dict, Optional
class TextDoc(BaseDoc):
embedding: NdArray[128]
text: str
metadata: Optional[Dict]
db = InMemoryExactNNIndex[TextDoc]()
data = DocList[TextDoc](
TextDoc(id=str(i),
embedding=np.random.rand(128),
text=f'query {i}',
metadata={"data": f"metadata_{i}"},
)
for i in range(3)
)
db.index(data)
doc = db['0'] # get doc by id
print(doc)I got this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

return _abc_subclasscheck(cls, subclass)
TypeError: issubclass() arg 1 must be a classAfter a preliminary investigation, it was found that everything works fine if the data type of the metadata field is not a Dict.
