This was broken by both #5871 and #5682:
1. When a List<Guid> was serialized, it was recognized as a primitive collection and thus plainly written to the JSON without any type information: ["d4d8404c-4357-47ff-a343-649a116539f5"]
2. When this JSON was deserialized, due to lack of type info, it was deserialized as List<object>, containing strings. This is already not good.
3. When this List<object> gets serialized again (e.g. due to multiple workflow suspends causing WorkflowState serialization), this time it fails the primitive collection recognition, because object is not a primitive type. It now gets serialized as {"_items": ["d4d8404c-4357-47ff-a343-649a116539f5"], "_type": "Object[]"}
4. When that JSON gets deserialized, it tries to ReadType() but ReadType() fails to parse Object[] since it lacks the logic from TypeJsonConverter to throw away the [] before looking up Object in the WellKnownTypeRegistry, so it returns null as a type. Without a type but being faced with a json object { ... } it now deserializes into an ExpandoObject
5. Any further serialization / deserializations will now cause the expando object to get nested deeper and deeper every time.
* Fix `variables` handling override values set via `Set{VariableName}()` syntax
* Make `TenantsFeature` a dependency of `Multitenancy` to ensure streamlined initialization
From this point on, all application instances are multi-tenant with a single, default tenant. This streamlines the startup tasks that are designed around multitenancy.
* Add JS variable handling tests
* Ensure ExpandoObjects are correctly processed and synchronized between contexts and engines
Introduced a new helper method to process ExpandoObject conversions to JavaScript objects. Updated various handlers and functions to ensure ExpandoObjects are correctly processed and synchronized between contexts and engines. Added a new workflow test to validate the updated processing logic.
#5682 broke serialization in two ways:
- When a generic type was being serialized, such as List`1, the ` was being escaped by JsonSerializer.Serialize to "\u0060". The PolymorphicObjectConverter would then .Trim('"') without unescaping the `, causing "\\u0060" to be written into the final json.
- When the type is generic with one type parameter, e.g. List<T>, and also IEnumerable<T>, as List<T> is, then it would append "[]" at the end of the type name, resulting in: "System.Collections.Generic.List\\u00601[[Elsa.Workflows.IntegrationTests.Serialization.JsonSerialization.WorkflowAction, Elsa.Workflows.IntegrationTests]], System.Private.CoreLib[]" which is very invalid. It may only do that, if the typename was simplified because the elementType is in the WellKnownTypeRegistry. And even then, this is questionable, as you'd be deserializing an string[] where you've serialized a List<string> for example.
* Add ExecuteWorkflow activity and enable multitenancy
Introduced the ExecuteWorkflow activity to create and execute workflow instances, and updated runtime settings to use ProtoActor for distributed caching transport. Enabled multitenancy for the Elsa Server Web application.
