Adam Holmberg created CASSANDRA-12914:
-----------------------------------------
Summary: cqlsh describe fails with "list[i] not a string for i
in..."
Key: CASSANDRA-12914
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12914
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Adam Holmberg
repro:
Create a keyspace and a few user types.
{code}
use keyspace;
desc types;
{code}
This is caused by a limitation in {{cmd.Cmd.columnize}} in that it doesn't
accept unicode, which our identifiers are. Ending stack trace:
{noformat}
"...bin/cqlsh.py", ... in describe_usertypes
cmd.Cmd.columnize(self, protect_names(ksmeta.user_types.keys()))
File "/Users/adamholmberg/.pyenv/versions/2.7.8/lib/python2.7/cmd.py", line
363, in columnize
", ".join(map(str, nonstrings)))
TypeError: list[i] not a string for i in 0, 1, 2, 3, 4
{noformat}
This was previously obscured because the driver was incorrectly encoding
identifiers in {{protect_name}}, which caused other problems for cqlsh schema
generation. With that
[change|https://github.com/datastax/python-driver/commit/0959b5dc1662d6957f2951738d0a4f053ac78f66],
we now must encode identifiers in cqlsh to avoid blowing up `columnize`.
