Research direction

Reproduce the MWE with MetaGraphsNext v0.6.0, then inspect persistence.jl at show_meta_list (line 31) and savedot (line 76). The fix should make savegraph("data.dot", g2, DOTFormat()) handle Foo metadata without the reported length(::Foo) error and produce the expected DOT output.

Description

bug

MWE

julia> using MetaGraphsNext # v0.6.0

julia> struct Foo end

julia> g2 = MetaGraph(DiGraph(), label_type=Int, vertex_data_type=Foo)
Meta graph based on a SimpleDiGraph{Int64} with vertex labels of type Int64, vertex metadata of type Foo, edge metadata of type Nothing, graph metadata given by nothing, and default weight 1.0

julia> savegraph("data.dot", g2, DOTFormat())
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching length(::Foo)
