ERROR: openstack 'ArgumentParser' object has no attribute 'debug'

[Christian Berendt]

After installation the latest released python-openstackclient package from pypi (version 1.30) in a fresh virtual environment I got the following issue when trying to run 'openstack --help':

Commands:
Could not load EntryPoint.parse('aggregate_add_host = openstackclient.compute.v2.aggregate:AddAggregateHost')
ERROR: openstack 'ArgumentParser' object has no attribute 'debug'

This bug affects me, too. I tested it on two different os, which fine with previous version, a.k.a 1.2.0

[Terry Howe (thowe-g)]

The "object has no attribute 'debug'" is kind of unrelated to the load problem.

For some reason, the rest of those packages never updated requirements.txt for pbr. Perhaps the fix would be to revert the above change if that is possible.

    Fix object has no attribute debug error

    When print_help_if_requested is called, if there is an error,
    "object has no attribute 'debug'" gets printed out. This is
    because the parser is passed in to the command rather than the
    parsed arguments.

The cliff fix is in release 1.13.0.

I've proposed a bump to global-requirements so that we pull cliff 1.13.0 into python-openstackclient:

https://review.openstack.org/#/c/192848/

[Steve Martinelli (stevemar)]

OSC master branch now depends on cliff>1.13.0 https://github.com/openstack/python-openstackclient/blob/master/requirements.txt

it's latest release 1.5.0 depend on cliff>1.10.0 https://github.com/openstack/python-openstackclient/blob/1.5.0/requirements.txt

so i'm marking this as fix committed, when we release 1.6.0 i'll mark this as fix released

[Jakub Ružička (jruzicka)]

$ openstack help
...
ERROR: openstack 'ArgumentParser' object has no attribute 'debug'

This still happens to me with os master and pip installed cliff 1.13.0

[Przemek Czerkas (pczerkas)]

For python-openstackclient 1.0.1 downgrading debtcollector to 0.5.0 helps (from 0.7.0 version).
