Description:
I created a server profile for a 5.1 server, installed from Windows ZIP file.  I have many such servers, this one installed at D:\mysql-5.1.38-win32.  For testing purposes, I use a common my.ini file (to be attached) which is D:\general.ini.

I was able to create the server definition, but when I go in to view the configuration file, I get a mesage:

Unhandled exception:  'bool' object has no attribute 'strip'

The second time, this caused WB to fail (JIT info to be attached).

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
Don't crash or error.

config file

Attachment: general.ini (application/octet-stream, text), 261 bytes.

WB error

Attachment: WB error.txt (text/plain), 6.02 KiB.

I get the "exception" on Linux and Mac, also. It seems to occur if I put "log-bin" in the specified my.cnf file.

It also causes duplicate sets of the config file tabs to be generated in the interface each time the Configuration interface is reloaded. (general, myisam, innodb, performance, log files, replication, networking, security, advanced, general, myisam, innodb, performance, log files, replication, networking, security, advanced, general, myisam, innodb, performance, log files, replication, networking, security, advanced...)

Fixed

fixed in 5.2.10

An entry was added to the 5.2.10 changelog:

A MySQL configuration file caused MySQL Workbench to crash, when an attempt was made to view it in the configuration editor of the Admin tab. The error generated was:

Unhandled exception:  'bool' object has no attribute 'strip'
