We wanted to deactivate the ckan format normalization by config. But we are surprised that the config parameter
ckanext.dcat.normalize_ckan_format
seems to be ignored. We invested some time and found out the reason.The reason is that the config parameter was read from the config file but was interpreted as string what is still the default behavior for an ini file. So, the value
False
in the config file was interpreted as string'False'
and not as boolean what will lead to the situation that the expressionand normalize_ckan_format
was always True, because a not empty string is interpreted as True.The pull request adds the conversion of the param to type boolean.
