Joshua McKenzie updated CASSANDRA-12914:
----------------------------------------
Reviewer: Tyler Hobbs
> 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
> Assignee: 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}}.
