bitcoind walletpassphrase not working

[gronager]

First call says:
error: {"code":-1,"message":"value is type str, expected int"}
Second:
error: {"code":-17,"message":"Error: Wallet is already unlocked."}

Unable to reproduce with git master; which version is this?

Are you using a different version of bitcoind to send the request than you are to receive the request?

The issue was posted by "denisx" in the chat - stupid me - forgot to ask the version...

I checked the code, and couldn't find the cause (well except if you call bitcoind with an older version and the second param of walletpassphrase is not set to type int first). I will see if I can catch him later on the chat, otherwise close it.

Btw - In my view, the RPC functions should either announce their type (system.describe) or be more
large in accepting strings when called (better).

like:

if (params[1].type() != json_spirit::int_type) {
    if (params[1].type() == json_spirit::str_type)
        timeout = lexical_cast<int>(params[1].get_str());
}        
else
    timeout = params[1].get_int();

Cheers,

Michael
