Description Stephen Finucane 2019-10-02 15:53:44 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1756392 +++

This is the novaclient clone of the openstackclient bug. Both CLIs are affected by the same bug.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1541239 +++

1. Description

Support for adding validation check while using openstack server create ... --hint command

2. Use case

An error in "openstack server create" filters specifcation (used uuid of group instead of "group=<uuid>"/ "key=value") format led to openstack accepting the value and not reporting any error.

However, it did not carry out the expected action.

A syntax check on the filter format could have helped user avoid several hours of troubleshooting

~~~
"openstack server create" command accepts hints in the format "key=value".
However no syntax validation is done leading to accepting values in incorrect format without reporting any error and user assuming filter got applied

Following works fine without error:

openstack server create ...  --hint 245e1dfe-2d0e-4139-80a9-fce124948896 --wait

It should actually be:
openstack server create ... --hint group=245e1dfe-2d0e-4139-80a9-fce124948896 --wait

Suggest adding validation check to the command so that hints are not accepted without key=value format

~~~
