I use Debian (testing), Postgres 9.4, and Web2py 2.14.6 (with current trunk is problem the same)
I use such command (assigned to an alias) for long time to start my application python web2py.py -K codex2020 -X $@ Today I received strange behaviour, errors like web2py.scheduler TICKER: error assigning tasks or such something (with no effect if I have deleted scheduler_* tables and their databases/ metadata earlier) starting scheduler for "codex2020"... Currently running 1 scheduler processes Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mirek/mz/web2py/gluon/restricted.py", line 227, in restricted exec ccode in environment File "applications/codex2020/models/scheduler.py", line 80, in <module> scheduler = Scheduler(db) File "/home/mirek/mz/web2py/gluon/scheduler.py", line 567, in __init__ self.define_tables(db, migrate=migrate) File "/home/mirek/mz/web2py/gluon/scheduler.py", line 659, in define_tables migrate=self.__get_migrate('scheduler_worker', migrate) File "/home/mirek/mz/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/base.py", line 834, in define_table table = self.lazy_define_table(tablename,*fields,**args) File "/home/mirek/mz/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/base.py", line 873, in lazy_define_table polymodel=polymodel) File "/home/mirek/mz/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/adapters/base.py", line 510, in create_table fake_migrate=fake_migrate File "/home/mirek/mz/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/adapters/base.py", line 623, in migrate_table self.execute(sub_query) File "/home/mirek/mz/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/adapters/postgres.py", line 362, in execute return BaseAdapter.execute(self, *a, **b) File "/home/mirek/mz/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/adapters/base.py", line 1388, in execute return self.log_execute(*a, **b) File "/home/mirek/mz/web2py/gluon/packages/dal/pydal/adapters/base.py", line 1382, in log_execute ret = self.get_cursor().execute(command, *a[1:], **b) ProgrammingError: column "worker_stats__tmp" is of type json but expression is of type text LINE 1: UPDATE scheduler_worker SET worker_stats__tmp=worker_stats; ^ HINT: You will need to rewrite or cast the expression. Then I decided then if I run without $@, all will start well: python web2py.py -K codex2020 -X After testing of everything I went back to: python web2py.py -K codex2020 -X $@ or python web2py.py -K codex2020 -X "$@" and I have now no more the previous problem. All works well. Has somebody any idea about the reason of problems and can you explain me the difference between $@ and "$@". Which one is more safe to use? Is there a difference?
