Add test for KNIME's behavior when user improperly labels types on input #4

Closed applio closed 6 years ago

applio commented 6 years ago

If the types are improperly declared by the user, then hopefully it bombs out and doesn't try to change everything into a String in the service table input node but I have not yet tested this to see what it does (we should test it to find out).

Added test to document the behavior in commit 0a9dc19ca473368cdee28b261d26a9b952c6cc9c.

In situations where KNIME expects a particular data type but the Python code tries to send something other than the type promised in the "table-spec", Python will dutifully convert individual values to an appropriate JSON type no matter what the promised type is in the "table-spec" but on the Java/KNIME end any value which does not successfully convert to the type specified in the specified "table-spec" will result in a missing value.
