Typerror when starting main.py on Linux host with Python 3.10

Hello

On a PC running Linux Mint 21, when trying to start the main.py script after setting the connection variables I get :

With HA Warehouse :

1 - Manage entities
2 - Manage warehouses
C - Start IoTuring
Q - Quit

Select your choice: C

From what I understand, their seems to be a type mismatch for the port number (defined as string but expects an int in client.py )

The connection variables seem properly defined though (ie for HA warehouse) :

❯ cat configurations.json                                                                   
{"active_entities": [{"type": "AppInfo"}], "active_warehouses": [{"address": "192.168.0.XX", "port": "1883", "name": "blahblah", "username": "mqtt-pcname", "password": "somepassword", "add_name": "N", "type": "HomeAssistant"}]}% 

Any idea how to solve this ?

Edit

It works if leaving default value when defining port number (just typing return when asked)

Then you have "port": 1883 instead of "port": "1883" in configurations.json

@Lefuneste83 can you try if it works now ?

Thank you for finding the bug.
