Description Udi Kalifon 2015-05-31 12:38:56 UTC 
Description of problem:
usage: heat resource-show <NAME or ID> <RESOURCE>

From the above usage message, you'd expect that "heat resource-show" takes the following 2 parameters: 
1) The name or id of the stack (which is "overcloud" in the case of TripleO)
2) The resource's uuid

However, that is only true for top-level resources. In nested resources you have to provide the parent resource's uuid (don't need the stack's name at all) and the resource's name. UUIDs don't work even if it's not a nested resource.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
heat 0.5.0
python-heatclient-0.5.0-1.el7ost.noarch
openstack-heat-api-2015.1.1-dev11.el7.centos.noarch


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy an overcloud with TripleO
2. List nested resources with "heat resource-list --nested-depth 5 overcloud"
3. Try to use "heat resource-show" on some top-level resources and some nested ones.

This bug is against a Version which has reached End of Life.
If it's still present in supported release (http://releases.openstack.org), please update Version and reopen.
