When does this happen?
IF When using Pydantic models with enum fields for structured outputs in vLLM, the grammar parser fails with error 'Pointer '/$defs/xxxxx' does not exist'.
How others solved it
THEN Replace enum fields with string fields and use json_schema_extra with an 'enum' key listing allowed string values to work around the JSON schema generation issue. For example, define the field as `color: str = Field(description='The detected color', json_schema_extra={'enum': ['red', 'blue', 'green']})` instead of using a Python Enum type.
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from enum import Enum
# Before (causes error):
class Color(str, Enum):
RED = 'red'
BLUE = 'blue'
GREEN = 'green'
class Model(BaseModel):
color: Color
# After (workaround):
class Model(BaseModel):
color: str = Field(description='The detected color', json_schema_extra={'enum': ['red', 'blue', 'green']})Related patterns
