[IGN-16023]8.3 Regression: Document Tag Integer Values Change After Gateway Restart

[Noah_Burnette]

Hi all, Upgraded from 8.1.45 to 8.3.4 and I am running into a regression for document tags.

When performing a gateway restart on an 8.3.4 gateway, document tags with integers are converted into floats (appending .0) to the end of the integer. Below is a simple example:

8.3.4 Behavior

someDict = {
	"asdf": 3,
	"test": 1.5,
	"anotherTest": 20.0
}

system.tag.writeBlocking("[default]documentTag", someDict)

I then restart the gateway

./gwcmd.sh -r

Once the connection is re-established, We can see that the asdf key is converted into 3.0.

8.1.45 Behavior

Restart the gateway with:

./gwcmd.sh -r

Value is correctly persisted.

Has anyone else ran into this issue? I plan on making a support ticket as well but wanted to post this on the forum.

Thanks in advance!

Of curiosity, what do you have configured for Value Persistence on that memory tag in 8.3?

[Noah_Burnette]

Hi Chris,

It inherits from the default tag provider which uses database persistence.

I can verify that it happens in 8.3.1, as well.

Absolutely a bug, we have a ticket for this. Hopefully we'll fix this soon.
