Sqlite view model has wrong type and can't be replaced

[ShinyZero0]

If you're having a generation problem please answer these questions before submitting your issue. Thanks!

What version of SQLBoiler are you using (sqlboiler --version)?

4.16.1

What is your database and version (eg. Postgresql 10)

3.44.2

If this happened at generation time what was the full SQLBoiler command you used to generate your models? (if not applicable leave blank)

sqlboiler sqlite3

If this happened at runtime what code produced the issue? (if not applicable leave blank)

What is the output of the command above with the -d flag added to it? (Provided you are comfortable sharing this, it contains a blueprint of your schema)

Please provide a relevant database schema so we can replicate your issue (Provided you are comfortable sharing this)

Further information. What did you do, what did you expect?

It generates the entity for client_balance with balance as nullable string, which is a float actually. E.g. if i do a query with sqlite3 -json it is float

There is the whole repo

UPD: it's the same for client_statuses view too. Also, the values are valid, but i have to parse them with strconv

I will label this as a bug, but I need more information

The title says it can't be replaced, can you share how you are configuring the type replacement?

[ShinyZero0]

like that

AFAIR i also tried matching the capitalized name and it didn't work too

@stephenafamo
Any updates on this? 4.16.2 still has the problem.
I tried replacing like that:

[[types]]
	[types.match]
	type = "null.String"

	[types.replace]
	type = "float32"

the matcher is literally copied from README so it must work, but it doesn't. I still have the null.String balance field.

Are there ways to add more clues to my db schema so that sqlboiler could infer the types correctly?

[ShinyZero0]

I just tried the following and it worked. I thought less matchers must match more as it uses logical AND. That "boolean values must always match" in doc sounds ambiguous imo.

[[types]]

	[types.match]
	name = "balance"
	nullable = true

	[types.replace]
	type = "float32"

So, i at least know how to fix it myself now. If it's not possible to do more accurate type detection on views, the issue can be closed
