1270227 - REST API methods return integers as strings

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(bugzilla.mozilla.org :: API, defect)

Description

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

The response of the bug_user_last_visit method, both from POST and GET requests, has the id field in a string, instead of an integer as explained in the doc:

Against which server/instance/version? trying to replicate.

bugzilla-merge.allizom.org would be:
https://github.com/mozilla/webtools-bmo-bugzilla/blob/upstream-merge/Bugzilla/API/1_0/Resource/BugUserLastVisit.pm#L127

Hmm we are setting as_int there as well, so will need to dig in to see where it is getting converted back to before returning.

Hmm, the issue can be seen not only with bug_user_last_visit but also other methods. All integers are strings:

And I believe this started very recently...

So, weird enough, we cannot reproduce the issue any more... Will reopen if I see the bug again.
