JsonSerializationException: Error converting value "PT1M" to type 'System.Nullable`1[System.TimeSpan]'. Path 'actions[1].sleep.before'

[bvandewe]

What happened:

With the current 0.4.0, when trying to force some delay on an action with sleep.after: PT1M, the UI/workflow editor doesnt accept the duration definition and throws the following error, even though the auto-complete knows about the "sleep" attribute.

action definition:

  ...
  "actions": [
    [
        {
          "name": "Do something",
          "functionRef": {
            "refName": "my-function",
            "arguments": {
              "foo": "${ .bar }"
            }
          },
          "sleep": {
              "before": "PT1M"
          }
        }
     ]

What you expected to happen:

Ability to use the sleep.after or sleep.before with a duration expressed in ISO8601.

How to reproduce it:

See above

Anything else we need to know?: 0.4.0

Environment: K8s

Closed as fixed in #366: serialization is now System.Text.Json based and string-based durations have been dropped in favor of duration objects.
