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 ~~~ 3.
