Description of your changes

AsObject avoids the JSON round trip for unstructured objects by calling s.AsMap(), and a Struct only knows one number type, so every number lands in the object as a float64. apimachinery's unstructured accessors read whole numbers as int64, which is what its JSON decoding produces, so GetGeneration returned 0 for the observed XR, every observed composed resource and every required resource, while observedGeneration on a condition read correctly through GetCondition's JSON path.

The fast path now walks the map and converts whole-number float64s to int64, leaving fractions alone. That matches what the slow path produces for the same input and keeps the round trip out of the hot path.

Fixes #391

I have:

  • Read and followed Crossplane's contribution process.
  • Run make reviewable to ensure this PR is ready for review.

How has this code been tested

TestAsObjectUnstructuredNumbers reads a struct with metadata.generation: 8 and nested whole numbers into a composed resource and checks GetGeneration and the stored content, with a second case for a fraction. The first case fails on main (generation 0, float64 stored) and passes with this change. go test -race ./... and golangci-lint are clean with Go 1.26.7, except TestMetricsServer_WithDefaultRegistryAndDefaultPort, which needs :8080 free and fails the same way on main on my machine where another process holds that port.

A Struct only knows float64 numbers, but apimachinery's unstructured accessors read whole numbers as int64, so GetGeneration and the other int64 getters returned 0 for every object read from a request.

Walkthrough

AsObject now converts integral, in-range float64 values to int64 recursively before storing unstructured content. Fractional and out-of-range values remain unchanged. Tests check metadata generation and nested values.

Changes: AsObject number handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Recursive numeric conversion
resource/resource.go
New helpers recursively convert map and slice values. Integral, in-range float64 values become int64; fractional and out-of-range values remain unchanged.
AsObject integration and validation
resource/resource.go, resource/resource_test.go
AsObject applies the conversion before setting unstructured content. Tests check generation and numeric values across nested maps and arrays.

AsObject now converts whole numbers to int64, which fixes GetGeneration() returning 0. A float64 value of exactly 2^63 would be silently stored as a wrong number instead of being left unchanged. This affects a very narrow edge case and is a one-character fix. It is worth correcting before merge.

Explanation

The description explains the cause (AsMap yields float64, while apimachinery accessors expect int64), the fix (converting whole-number float64 values to int64 in the fast path), and the test added. It also references issue #391. This is related to the changeset.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #391 requires whole-number float64 values on the AsObject fast path to become int64, so that apimachinery accessors such as GetGeneration and GetDeletionGracePeriodSeconds read them. At the reviewed head, resource/resource.go wraps s.AsMap() in asUnstructuredContent before SetUnstructuredContent. asUnstructuredContent and asUnstructuredValue walk nested maps and slices. They convert float64 to int64 only when the value is integral and in range. Fractions and other types stay unchanged. This follows the first fix option in #391 and covers all unstructured objects that take the fast path, so the generic int64 getters are covered. TestAsObjectUnstructuredNumbers in resource/resource_test.go adds a whole-number generation case and a fractional case. The PR description says the first case fails on main and passes with this change. One edge case remains. The upper bound check uses v <= math.MaxInt64. Because float64(math.MaxInt64) equals 2^63, the value 2^63 passes the check and int64 conversion overflows. This edge case does not affect the linked requirement and does not block this assessment. Thank you for the clear repro and the focused fix.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff against the merge base changes two files. resource/resource.go adds the math import and the conversion helpers, and changes the AsObject fast path to call them. resource/resource_test.go adds TestAsObjectUnstructuredNumbers. Both changes directly implement or test the number conversion required by #391. No unrelated changes are present. The edge case at exactly 2^63 is a correctness detail inside the in-scope helper, not an unrelated change.

Full details: Breaking Changes

Explanation

Summary: The PR changes behavior in exported API resource.AsObject. Its signature does not change. The check fails only when such a behavior change lacks the 'breaking-change' label. I could not read the PR labels, so this label condition cannot be confirmed either way. Evidence: - The diff touches resource/resource.go (modified) and resource/resource_test.go (added). No exported declarations are removed or renamed. The AsObject(s *structpb.Struct, o runtime.Object) error signature is unchanged. - The only changed production path is the unstructured fast path. It now calls asUnstructuredContent(s.AsMap()). This converts whole-number float64 values to int64 and recurses through nested maps and slices. Fractional values stay float64. - The AsObject fast path is used by request/request.go for observed and desired composite and composed resources, required resources, and function input. Callers that read values from the content map with a float64 type assertion, or that compare values with reflect.DeepEqual, will see different types after this change. This could break existing users, so the change falls under the check's behavior-change condition. - The new types match the JSON decoding path that apimachinery already uses. The PR description and linked issue #391 state this. This lowers the risk but does not remove the compatibility impact for existing callers. - The PR metadata, description, and objectives do not list the 'breaking-change' label. No label tool is available here, so the label state is unknown. Result: The behavior change could break existing users. Whether it carries the 'breaking-change' label is unverified. A FAIL needs the label to be absent. A PASS needs evidence that the change is not breaking, which I do not have.

Resolution

Thank you for the careful fix and the regression test, @blacksoxx. The fix addresses issue #391 well. Next steps to settle this check: 1. Confirm whether PR #392 carries the 'breaking-change' label. If it does not, add it. The observable return type of AsObject changes for whole numbers on the unstructured path. 2. Add a short note to the release notes or PR description. Describe the type change (float64 to int64 for whole numbers in unstructured content). Include a migration hint, such as using a type switch on float64 and int64, as the issue's workaround does. 3. Ask maintainers whether they consider this a fix or a breaking change. If they consider it a fix, the label may not be needed. Their decision should be recorded. If the label is absent after confirmation, this check should be re-run and will likely FAIL under the stated policy.

Exclude the rounded upper bound before converting to int64.

When v is 9223372036854775808 (2^63), this condition passes because math.MaxInt64 rounds to the same float64 value. The subsequent conversion cannot preserve the value and produces an implementation-dependent result. AsObject then stores that result and returns success. Go's conversion rules establish this overflow behavior. (go.dev)

Please use an exclusive upper bound. Add a regression case that keeps 2^63 as float64.
