Problems with set_active

[ferm10n]

I tried following one of the examples:

continuousprint/api_examples/example.py

Lines 11 to 16 in 3cc8306

	def set_active(active=True):
	return requests.post(
	f"{HOST_URL}/plugin/continuousprint/set_active",
	headers={"X-Api-Key": UI_API_KEY},
	data={"active": active},
	).json()

I'd get a 200 response, but no change and no logs.

It wasn't until I sent the string 'true' that something worked. This was just surprising to me, given what was in the docs.

This worked:

requests.post(octoprintOrigin + '/plugin/continuousprint/set_active', data={ 'active': 'true' }, headers={"X-Api-Key": apiKey})

But this didn't:

requests.post(octoprintOrigin + '/plugin/continuousprint/set_active', data={ 'active': True }, headers={"X-Api-Key": apiKey})

I just wanted to understand if I'm missing something / document working around this issue.

Thanks!

Huh no, that definitely sounds like a bug to me. I converted this to an issue (see #135) and will investigate a bit.
