What version are you running?
2.0.12
What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
N/A
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install ReviewBoard
2. Use rb-site manage to get and set int, bool or null values
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- int
- rb-site manage /var/www/reviewboard get-siteconfig -- --key mail_port
- Expected: 25
- Received: AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'endswith' [along with a stack trace and an exit status of 1]
- Notes: looks like something is expecting a string object
- rb-site manage /var/www/reviewboard set-siteconfig -- --key mail_port --value 25
- Expected: Setting 'mail_port' to 25
- Received: Setting 'mail_port' to 25
- Notes: works as expected
- bool
- rb-site manage /var/www/reviewboard get-siteconfig -- --key mail_use_tls
- Expected: false
- Received: AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'endswith' [along with a stack trace and an exit status of 1]
- Notes: looks like something is expecting a string object
- rb-site manage /var/www/reviewboard set-siteconfig -- --key mail_use_tls --value true
- Expected: Setting 'mail_use_tls' to true
- Received: CommandError: 'true' is not a valid bool [and an exit status of 1]
- Notes: as list-siteconfig displays boolean values as true/false, one would expect such values to be valid input to set-siteconfig
- rb-site manage /rb-site manage /var/www/reviewboard set-siteconfig -- --key mail_use_tls --value 1
- Expected: Setting 'mail_use_tls' to true [or CommandError: '1' is not a valid bool]
- Received: Setting 'mail_use_tls' to True
- Notes: inconsistent with what get-siteconfig would be expected to return (based upon output of list-siteconfig) - this makes it more difficult to test the value of a configuration parameter before setting it as one would be testing for a different value (true) than that which would have to be used to set it (1)
- null
- rb-site manage /var/www/reviewboard get-siteconfig -- --key company
- Expected: null
- Received: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'endswith' [along with a stack trace and an exit status of 1
- Notes: looks like something is expecting a string object
- rb-site manage /var/www/reviewboard set-siteconfig -- --key company --value 'Red Widgets'
- Expected: Setting 'company' to Red Widgets
- Received: CommandError: Cannot set NoneType keys [and an exit status of 1]
- Notes: rb-site manage doesn't seem to have a way to determine the type for a configuration parameter that is currently set to null

Please provide any additional information below.
These issues make it difficult to manage configuration of reviewboard programatically, particularly when one wishes to only set a configuration parameter if it is not already set to the desired value (i.e. testing the current value of a parameter before setting it), such as when using a configuration management tool like Puppet.
Note also that issue #3651 describes the specific case of the null value.
