Hello,

After an update from Review Board from 1.7.24 to 2.0, we cannot create a new Review or see diff on existing one, so it's quite blocking.

Everytime we want to create or to see a review, we get the following error : "expected string or Unicode object, client.ConfigItem found".
The full Debug file is attached for "New Review Request" issue.

We don't have any problem to navigate throw pages and we can modify admin elements in the Admin Dashboard.

Thanks,
Best regards.

Do you have any kind of custom Subversion configuration file being used with Review Board?

Was Apache restarted after the upgrade? The lines shown in the trace don't make much sense with regard to the error message.

Hello,

THe only customization present on my Subversion is a post-commit hook to call RBTools.
Apache has been restarted after the upgrade.

A new RB site has been created and the database compared to the existing one, but no difference appears.

Thanks,
Best regards.

As a complement of information, I have the same issue when I want to view the diff of an existing review. Debug info is not as complete as in the previous attached file but it's the same error.

Are you guys using PySVN, or Subvertpy? Do you have Subvertpy installed?

Hello,

As it's an old Review Board installation, we have both PySVN and Subvertpy installed.
subversion is also present on the environment.

Here are the versions :
- python-subvertpy : 0.7.3-1
- python-svn : 1.7.2-3
- subversion : 1.6.12dfsg-7

Thanks.
Best regards,

Subvertpy is newer and somewhat experimental, and it looks like it has some issues. PySVN is going to be better-supported, so if you can remove subvertpy, you may want to do that for now until we figure out what it's doing.

This traceback is nonsense, and I can't even find ConfigItem used in the latest subvertpy code (it's still defined, but nothing seems to use it). I'm going to call this 3rdparty and assume it's fixed upstream.
