maas-import-pxe-files fails when MAAS_URL is quoted

[Haw Loeung]

Hi,

We're trying to import images using 'maas-import-pxe-files' from the CLI but that seems to fail. On further investigation, it seems that it's because MAAS_URL is enclosed in double quotes and the URL it's trying to get to isn't removing it:

| root@somehost:/var/log/maas# tail -f /var/log/apache2/*.log -n 0 &
| root@somehost:/var/log/maas# maas-import-pxe-files --sources-file /tmp/tmp.Zl6RvzP3yu/boot-images.yaml
|
| ==> /var/log/apache2/access.log <==
| 10.189.73.2 - - [30/Sep/2015:02:09:42 +0000] "GET /MAAS\"/rpc/ HTTP/1.0" 404 468 "-" "Twisted PageGetter"
| Unhandled Error
| Traceback (most recent call last):
| Failure: twisted.web.error.Error: 404 Not Found

| root@somehost:/var/log/apache2# cat /etc/maas/maas_cluster.conf
| # This file is used by the cluster controller startup script:
| # `maas-provision start-cluster-controller`
| # to get the URL to the MAAS region controller's API. Normally, packaging
| # will update this file automatically but it may also be configured manually.
| MAAS_URL=http://10.189.73.2/MAAS
| CLUSTER_UUID="b8215ed4-9998-45fc-ab74-967a00003769"

The version of MAAS we're running with is as follows:

| root@somehost:/var/log/apache2# apt-cache policy maas
| maas:
| Installed: 1.7.6+bzr3376-0ubuntu2~14.04.1
| Candidate: 1.7.6+bzr3376-0ubuntu2~14.04.1
| Version table:

| 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com//ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
| 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

... and finally the sources file specified:

| root@somehost:/var/log/apache2# cat /tmp/tmp.Zl6RvzP3yu/boot-images.yaml
| - url: "http://maas.ubuntu.com/images/ephemeral-v2/releases/"
| keyring: "/usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-cloudimage-keyring.gpg"
| selections:

| arches: ["*"]
| subarches: ["generic"]
| labels: ["release"]

HI Haw,

maas-import-pxe-files was dropped for 1.7. Import of images should be started on the CLI or via the WebUI.

Marking this bug as invalid.
