Research direction

The failure is in rpdk/java/pojo_resolver.py, in _java_property_type, reached by cfn-cli generate; start there and reproduce with the nullable Canceled schema. Done means generation succeeds for the ["integer", "null"] property without the unhashable-list error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug question

This is the property that I’m trying to define:

    "Canceled": {
        "description": "POSIX Timestamp of cancellation of this downtime (null if not canceled)",
        "type": ["integer", "null"]
    },

This should be ok according to JsonSchema, but cfn-cli generate fails and rpdk.log contains this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
