Do you think that the fail in CI is due to this PR? I don't think so but I am not sure. |
The errors listed don't look related to these changes. @ckiosidis do you have insights? This was the first time i've looked at PR-specific unittests for Luigi since the move to Github Actions. I assume |

is OptionalListParameter intentionally a tuple? As opposed to a list?

It is intentional because the _warn_on_wrong_param_type is called after normalize which calls recursively_freeze on the value, thus the list is transformed into a tuple before the type is checked. That's why we expect a tuple here.

Ah right. I vaguely recall that confusion. I believe I added List Parameter and Tuple Parameter separately and later wished I hadn't added both. But alas, we have them both and treat them nearly the same.

Indeed it would be simpler to have only one of these 2.

Description
Update OptionalParameter and add several other parameter classes for other types.
Motivation and Context
Parameters raise warnings when their default value is None. As far as I know, it is only possible to use OptionalParameter for string type so I added optional classes for other types.
Have you tested this? If so, how?
I have included unit tests.
