[Swift-user] app argument int passed as float

[Ketan Maheshwari]

Mike,

Indeed the output seems to be as expected. I just tried this and worked for
me. However, if you see the log, at the point where the arguments are passed
to the worker it gets converted to float. See this line in the log of this
run:

2011-10-21 15:05:03,291-0500 DEBUG vdl:execute2 JOB_START
jobid=echo-suhonmhk tr=echo arguments=[foo, 35.0]
tmpdir=km-20111021-1504-f4bc0xg4/jobs/s/echo-suhonmhk host=localhost

35 became 35.0 there.

Regards,
Ketan
