Using examples/example_cli_provisioning.yaml fails with 'undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass'

[Kirill Zaborsky]

I'm trying to run astute provisioning using CLI. I use examples/example_cli_provisioning.yaml with fixed MACs (and also there was missing 'mac' entry on node level) and when I run 'astute -f myconfig.yaml -c provistion' after messages about reboot astute outputs:

--------

The last error repeating many times as timeout expires.
And in VirtualBox for the slave I try to provision I get an installation error - http://imgur.com/2nkQsO3

Is it a problem of example configuration being too old or I am doing something wrong here?

[Vladimir Kuklin (vkuklin)]

which version of FUEL are you using. Looks like 3.1 which is not supported right now. CLI provisioning changed a lot since 3.2

[Kirill Zaborsky (qrilka)]

I use MirantisOpenStack-3.2.iso downloaded some days ago and config from examples in github repo.
BTW I could not find any docs about CLI for version 3.2 only for 3.1 - is it intentional?

[Evgeniy L (rustyrobot)]

Take a look at doc in our repo https://github.com/Mirantis/fuel-docs/blob/master/pages/user-guide/cli.rst

[Kirill Zaborsky (qrilka)]

Thanks a lot for the link - I'll take a close look at it on monday.
BTW myabe it should be noticed in README or in the docs? fuel-astute's Readme.md also has a broken link in it I've created pull request - https://github.com/stackforge/fuel-astute/pull/1 before I realized that you use openstack workflow and github works like a readonly clone.
And as for this issue - should I assume that astute command is deprecated in 3.2 and this ticket comes from deprecated use of Fuel CLI? If it's the case then either astute should output some warnings about deprecation or ar least it should not give errors (and "nil" looks like some bug in code)

[Mike Scherbakov (mihgen)]

Wrong documentation is always more worse than no documentation at all. Please fix wrong README.md in astute repo, and refer to docs.mirantis.com/fuel-dev/

Vladimir - please also consider suggestions about deprecation warnings.

Kirill - user documentation, including CLI, is actually here: docs.mirantis.com. Previous link given by Evgeniy points you to sources of this documentation.

[Kirill Zaborsky (qrilka)]

Well it looks like I've missed the right part of the docs and Google brought me to documentation of 3.1
Mike what do you mean with "fix wrong README.md"? If it's about incorrect fuel-astute repo URL then it would be a little bit more logical and easier for Mirantis devs to fix 1 line. And I didn't get why do you mention docs.mirantis.com/fuel-dev/

[Vladimir Sharshov (vsharshov)]

Deprecation warnings:

CLI interface in Astute no longer supported. Please use new Fuel-CLI. More details you can get by link: https://github.com/Mirantis/fuel-docs/blob/master/pages/user-guide/cli.rst

We will show this message if user try to use astute as CLI. Also we should return exit code 1 and do nothing.

[Mike Scherbakov (mihgen)]

It's fine. I would rather suggest to reference docs.mirantis.com instead as a compiled version of documentation.

[Vladimir Sharshov (vsharshov)]

In this case we only can give link http://docs.mirantis.com/fuel/fuel-3.2.1/pdf/Mirantis-OpenStack-3.2.1-UserGuide.pdf and user to search section `Understanding Environment deployment with Fuel-CLI` by himself. Also we should not forget update this link at every release.

[Kirill Zaborsky (qrilka)]

I think http://docs.mirantis.com/fuel/fuel-3.2.1/user-guide.html#understanding-environment-deployment-with-fuel-cli is a little bit better

[Vladimir Sharshov (vsharshov)]

Kirill, thanks! But still present problem with actual state of this link, because it not direct depend of Astute and me should watch this moment.
