Root Cause

A return annotation used a construct FastAPI cannot convert to a Pydantic field (e.g., a custom class without validation, or an unsupported generic).

generic

中文

返回注解使用了 FastAPI 无法转换为 Pydantic 字段的结构（如无校验的自定义类或不受支持的泛型）。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success 
    class Out(BaseModel):
    name: str
@app.get('/x', response_model=Out)
def x(): ...
  2. 85% success 
    from typing import Any
@app.get('/x')
def x() -> Any: ...

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Loses schema and docs; underlying type issue remains.

  2. 85% fail

    Bypasses OpenAPI generation but not validation.
