Failing to create image using glance endpoint version 2

[Diogo Monteiro]

Not able to create an image utilizing the glance service REST api version 2
I've tried a few different approaches

#1 Using the python-glance client

Running:
glance --debug --os-image-api-version 2 image-create --locations "https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/lucid/current/lucid-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img"

Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/glanceclient/v2/images.py", line 154, in create
    setattr(image, key, value)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages/warlock/model.py", line 75, in __setattr__
    self.__setitem__(key, value)

    raise exceptions.InvalidOperation(msg)
warlock.exceptions.InvalidOperation: Unable to set 'locations' to '['{', 'url:', 'https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/lucid/current/lucid-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img,', 'metadata:', '{}', '}']'. Reason: '{' is not of type 'object'

Failed validating 'type' in schema['properties']['locations']['items']:
    {'properties': {'metadata': {'type': 'object'},
                    'url': {'maxLength': 255, 'type': 'string'}},
     'required': ['url', 'metadata'],
     'type': 'object'}

#2 Adding a location to an existing image using python-glance client

Running:
glance --debug --os-image-api-version 2 location-add bf9e453a-8aef-4806-9afe-9546694f814b --url "https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/lucid/current/lucid-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img"

Exception:
The administrator has disabled API access to image locations

#3 Sending curl requests directly to glance's version 2 endpoints

Running:
Node.js app using request lib

"requestOptions": {
    "url": "http://controller01.qa.cloud:9292/v2/images",
    "json": true,
    "headers": {
      "X-Auth-Project-Id": "2136a657f30c4f65895dd95164f4dda6",
      "X-Auth-Token": "ba36f4becfa04740bd524a37404ae29f"
    },
    "timeout": 10000,
    "strictSSL": false,
    "body": {
      "name": "cdos-template6001",
      "container_format": "ovf",
      "disk_format": "raw",
      "min_ram": 1,
      "min_disk": 10,
      "locations": [
        {
          "url": "https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/lucid/current/lucid-server-cloudimg-i386-disk1.img",
          "metadata": {}
        }
      ]
    }

request.post(requestOptions, callback);

Exception:
403 Forbidden\n\nAttribute 'locations' is reserved.\n\n

Can anybody confirm if the glance version 2 image-create REST endpoint even works?
If it does how to consume the API, any docs?

Sorry for the late response. Let me explain the 3 cases.

#1 the format you're using for locations is invalid. But that's your fault, it's because current code can't parse a string to dict

#2 you need to add a config 'show_multiple_locations = True' in your glance-api.conf

#3 current, 'locations' is a reserved attribute, see https://github.com/openstack/glance/blob/master/glance/domain/__init__.py#L56

But FWIW, we need a fix in glance client to disable the locations parameter. Please let me know if you have any questions.

btw, I just tested the #2, it works for me.

    Omit 'locations' as image-create parameter

    Based on current implementation, locations is reserved
    attribute, so it should not be a parameter for image
    create.
