juju list-credentials fails to display

[Nicholas Skaggs]

When a cloud is not found in your credentials file, the credentials are not listed. In addition, the credentials error given is confusing, and non-consistent.

Juju should still list all credentials in the file, as well as displaying a friendly warning about any clouds it cannot find.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I am hitting this for 2.0b18. After removing a cloud, list-credentials bails in a weird way.

ubuntu@loudred-ppc64:~/juju⟫ juju list-credentials
ERROR removing secrets from credentials for cloud ppc64stack: cloud ppc64stack not valid

I attempted to work around this by re-adding a new cloud of the same name as the cloud that was previously deleted. Juju then succeeded to list-credential and I was able to remove-credential. But, with an empty output of list-credential, and after doing remove-cloud, list-credential failed in the same way.

To simplify a bit: Strictly with the CLI, I added a cloud. Added a cred. Used the cloud. Deleted the cred. Deleted the cloud. And then no bueno with list-credentials.

This is what the on-disk credentials.yaml looked like after that. Removing that worked around the issue, but that is an issue for automation which aims to use the CLI.

ubuntu@loudred-ppc64:~⟫ cat .local/share/juju/credentials.yaml
credentials:
  ppc64stack: {}

ubuntu@loudred-ppc64:~⟫ rm .local/share/juju/credentials.yaml

ubuntu@loudred-ppc64:~⟫ juju list-credentials
