Describe the bug pulp rpm repository create --name random --autopublish --repo-config '{"gpgcheck": 0, "repo-gpgcheck": 0}'

Error: Validation failed for 'repositories_rpm_rpm_create': application/json: 'repo_config' is expected to be a string. application/x-www-form-urlencoded: 'repo_config' is expected to be a string. multipart/form-data: 'repo_config' is expected to be a string.

same error goes for rpm publication

To Reproduce See Above

Expected behavior --repo-config should be parsed

Additional context based on example here https://pulpproject.org/pulp_rpm/docs/user/tutorials/create_sync_publish/?h=gpgcheck#create-a-publication-with-a-configrepo

Can you run in verbose mode? I copy-pasted this and got no errors w/ similar version-set.

 pulp -vvv rpm repository create --name random --autopublish --repo-config '{"gpgcheck": 0, "repo-gpgcheck": 0}'

I am not sure why it is failing, but on a system with RH8.10 it worked before. Then i updated to the latest pulp pod image and somewhere after that it started failing. On a similar test system with RH9.4 it works with no problems. I tried it on another machine with 8.10 and it works.

this seems a problem specific to one machine.

pulp -vvv rpm repository create --name random --autopublish --repo-config '{"gpgcheck": 0, "repo-gpgcheck": 0}'

I suspect this is a python3.6 issue

Given that i create a venv for python3.6 as follows

# This does not work
python3 -m venv .venv/pulp36
source .venv/pulp36/bin/activate
pip install pulp-cli[pygments]
pulp -vvv rpm repository create --name random2 --autopublish --repo-config '{"gpgcheck": 0, "repo-gpgcheck": 0}'
Error: Validation failed for 'repositories_rpm_rpm_create':

# This works
python3.9 -m venv .venv/pulp39
source .venv/pulp39/bin/activate
pip install pulp-cli[pygments]
pulp -vvv rpm repository create --name random2 --autopublish --repo-config '{"gpgcheck": 0, "repo-gpgcheck": 0}'

That's odd. I couldn't reproduce with:

• python 3.6.8
• pulp-cli 0.23.2
• pulpcore 3.57.2
• pulp_rpm 3.27.2

But since changing the client setup solves the issue, that should be moved to pulp-cli.
