Passing a dict to GoogleAdsClient.load_from_dict gives error on pyright

[mxfunc]

Can anyone help with the following issue in pyright:

from google.ads.googleads.client import GoogleAdsClient
params = {
   "client_id": "1234"
}
GoogleAdsClient.load_from_dict(params, version="v19")

error: Argument of type "dict[str, Any]" cannot be assigned to parameter "config_dict" of type "_ConfigDataUnparsed" in function "load_from_dict"
    Type "dict[str, Any]" is not assignable to type "_ConfigDataUnparsed"
      "dict[str, Any]" is not assignable to "_InstalledAppConfigDataUnparsed"
      "dict[str, Any]" is not assignable to "_ServiceAccountConfigDataUnparsed" (reportArgumentType)

Which versions of pyright, google-ads-stubs, and google-ads are you using?

The issue is that I've used TypedDicts to specify how a config should look, but when you assign your dict to a variable the type checker just infers it as dict[str, Any], so the type checker sees them as incompatible. If you pass the dictionary straight to the method the type checker will try to infer the correct type:

GoogleAdsClient.load_from_dict(
    params = {
       "client_id": "1234",
    },
    version="v19"
)

Though in this case it would still complain because you're missing some required settings missing from the dict.

If you want to assign it to a variable first you'll have to declare the TypedDict type:

from __future__ import annotations

from google.ads.googleads.client import GoogleAdsClient
import typing

if typing.TYPE_CHECKING:
    from google.ads.googleads.config import _ConfigDataUnparsed

params: _ConfigDataUnparsed = {
   "client_id": "1234",
}
client = GoogleAdsClient.load_from_dict(params, version="v19")
