When does this happen?

IF Using ChatGoogleGenerativeAI's with_structured_output with a Pydantic model that contains a List field results in a 'missing items' error.

How others solved it

THEN Avoid using List fields in the output schema for Gemini structured output. Instead, design the schema with single string fields or nested objects that do not require array type. If arrays are necessary, provide a custom function declaration with explicit 'items' schema, or use a different LLM provider that handles array schemas correctly.
