Incorrectly parsing numbers as `Null` under Linux

Sample JSON

{
  "aggregations": {
    "my_aggregation": {
      "value": 9
    }
  }
}

Models

let int: Decoded<Int> = json <| ["aggregations", "device_count", "value"]
// ^ missingKey("value")

Argo Version

4.1.2

Dependency Manager

Swift Package Manager.


This only occurs under Linux. Locally, there's no problem on MacOS. Under the debugger it seemed to be showing that value was present but its value was null, as if {"value": null}.

Resolved this way (ugh).

let dict = json as? [String:Any]

let int = dict.flatMap({ d -> Any? in
    return d["aggregations"]
}).flatMap({  d -> [String:Any]? in
    return d as? [String:Any]
}).flatMap({ d -> Any? in
    return d["my_aggregation"]
}).flatMap({ d -> [String:Any]? in
   return d as? [String:Any]
}).flatMap({ d -> Any? in
    return d["value"]
}).flatMap({ d -> Int? in
   return d as? Int
})

I assume this is related to NSNumber being a shitshow on Linux, and thus isn't really Argo's problem. This issue is more for the benefit of everyone else.

(Related observation: if NSNumber's crufty addition of so many features is due to years of the "benefits" of ABI stability, I'm terrified for the consequences of Swift 5).

Do we know if this is still an issue?
