unable to encode []model.Field into text format for unknown type (OID 16385): cannot find encode plan

What happened?

I am trying to create a query that will return a set of results based on a dynamic filter. I am using the pattern described here: https://github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc/discussions/364#discussioncomment-55082 However, the query fails due to my ENUM.

I want the query to return any results where the color is any of the filtered colors. If I change the query to fav_color = @fav_colors::COLORS, then the query works. But it doesn't seem to like it when using the ANY(@fav_colors::COLORS[]), even though that pattern does work with the regular text/varchar field.

The error message: &fmt.wrapError{msg:"failed to encode args[5]: unable to encode []model.Colors{\"red\", \"blue\", \"green\"} into text format for unknown type (OID 16385): cannot find encode plan", err:(*fmt.wrapError)(0x14000092620)}

Example calling code:

    accounts, err = dao.SelectAllAccountsByFilter(ctx, model.SelectAllAccountsByFilterParams{
        AnyNames:    true,
        Names:       []string{"Jane", "John"},
        IsActive:    true,
        Active:      true,
        AnyFavColor: true,
        FavColors:   []model.Colors{model.ColorsRed, model.ColorsBlue, model.ColorsGreen},
    })
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("%#+v\n", err)
    }

Relevant log output

No response

Database schema

I have the same issue: error while fetching products failed to encode args[5]: unable to encode []sqlc.CatalogProductType{\"base\", \"bundle\", \"group\", \"variant\"} into text format for unknown type (OID 37847): cannot find encode plan

It would be nice to know if there is any workaround. It's blocking my development. :(

@veqryn I found a work around for now, that is to force cast the types as text i.e. ::text

-- name: SelectAllAccountsByFilter :many
SELECT *
FROM accounts
WHERE (CASE WHEN @any_names::bool THEN name = ANY(@names::text[]) ELSE TRUE END)
  AND (CASE WHEN @is_active::bool THEN active = @active ELSE TRUE END)
  AND (CASE WHEN @any_fav_color::bool THEN fav_color::text = ANY(@fav_colors::text[]) ELSE TRUE END)
;
