Research direction

Start with the schema changes discussed in pull request 591 and the generated output under src/client. Run yarn generate, then inspect src/tasks/containers/TaskPage.test.tsx around line 259 to understand the current type error. Done means the generated client exposes the differentiated Task request properties while the existing UI tests type-check.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For cloud, a Task must have one of flux or scriptID. If it has scriptID, then it may have other fields (that aren't compatible with flux in a create request).
Differentiating the schemas with oneOf breaks the current UI tests--e.g.:

@jstirnaman

    src/tasks/containers/TaskPage.test.tsx:259:66 - error TS2339: Property 'flux' does not exist on type 'TaskCreateRequest | TaskWithScriptCreateRequest'.
      Property 'flux' does not exist on type 'TaskWithScriptCreateRequest'.

I'm assuming it needs a discriminator to know which schema to use? I ran yarn generate to generate src/client/* locally and I don't even see TaskWithScriptCreateRequest in the results, so I 'm confused.
I'll undo this for now and move it to my someday list. It seems beneficial to clients if they could discern which properties are compatible and required. I hate having it in human-readable-only fields.
