RE: JSONField decode error.

Hi Christian,

Thank you for your quick reply. To get my setup up and running I used a backup 
and created links to the real directories. I'll try your fix when my colleages 
don't try to access ReviewBoard.

Sleep well,
François Beerten.

Hi,

Sorry you ran into this. I have some code I just put into Djblets SVN that will 
hopefully help recover from this. I need to add bullet-proofing to prevent 
saving a SiteConfiguration from the admin UI, though. In the future, you should 
go to the Settings page to change these paths.

You can try the following to fix your install. Just in case, back up your 
database first.

1) Run: rb-site manage /path/to/your/site shell
2) Type:
>>> djblets.siteconfig.models import SiteConfiguration
>>> siteconfig.settings = eval(siteconfig.settings)
>>> siteconfig.save()

This will hopefully fix your setup. If not, let me know. (It's 3:20 AM here, so 
I won't be up much longer).

Christian

Hi,

After moving and updating from a ReviewBoard SVN installation to a rb-site 
installation, the site still used bad paths for htdocs/media and alike. I 
wanted to fix those in "Home<http://lisette.euresys.com/admin/db/> > 
Siteconfig<http://lisette.euresys.com/admin/db/siteconfig/> > Site 
configurations<http://lisette.euresys.com/admin/db/siteconfig/siteconfiguration/>
 >" in the admin interface of django. Unfortunately, after editing those 
ReviewBoard fails miserably with this error:

2009-01-02 02:05:54,986 - WARNING - JSONField decode error. Expected dictionary,
 got string for input '"{u'mail_host_password': u'', u'cache_backend': u'locmem:
//',
*** CROPPED FOR BRIEVITY AND SECURITY REASONS ***
 u'site_admin_name': u'Example Joe'}"'

After that, the only way to get ReviewBoard running again is to use a backup 
copy of the database. The database uses SQLite. The versions used are:
  ReviewBoard-0.9.dev_20081230-py2.4.egg
  Djblets-0.4.dev_20081230-py2.4.egg
  Django-1.0.2_final-py2.4.egg
  django_evolution-0.0.0-py2.4.egg

The error is raised in djblets/utils/fields.py. A comment says:

# XXX We need to investigate why this is happening once we have
# a solid repro case.

Saving a change in the Django admin interface is a reproducible way to get the 
error. I tried several times. Unfortunately, I dont't know Django and Djblets 
well enough to fix this. (And my colleages don't like it when I break the DB :) 
)

Happy new year,
Francois Beerten.
