Object of type GlideElement is not JSON serializable

[ABNAMRO-APIM]

I'm using PySNC to create records in my ServiceNow instance.
Used Python version: 3.10
Last known working version: 1.0.7
Bug seen in versions: 1.1.2, 1.1.3

My code worked with version 1.0.7 and then stopped working in 1.1.2 (and still didn't work in 1.1.3). I'm getting the following exception when calling GlideRecord.insert:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/vsts/work/1/s/create-ticket.py", line 147, in <module>

@ABNAMRO-APIM should be fixed in 1.1.4, let me know

[ABNAMRO-APIM]

I confirm it did fix the issue. Thanks for the quick response!

Just a note - in 1.0.7 the following code worked:

call = client.GlideRecord('u_call')
# ...
call.insert()
description = description.replace('placeholder', call.number)

In 1.1.4 it throws an exception, because call.number doesn't seem to be a string anymore:

call.description = description.replace('placeholder', call.number)
TypeError: replace() argument 2 must be str, not GlideElement

I fixed that by using call.number.get_value(), but I just wanted to let you know it looks like a breaking change
