false "Deleted" projects in Overview -> Usage Summary

[Nobuto Murata]

When opening Admin->Overview pane, there are some "Deleted" projects listed. However, those "Deleted" projects are actually there and one of those is "services" project in service_domain for example.

This is confusing and dangerous since it gives a false impression to the cloud admin that those projects can be purged even though it's actually alive and used in other separate domains.

It's not reproducible with devstack so filing a bug against a charm for the time being because it may be domain/admin/policy setup related.

After setting a domain context to service_domain, I can see the previously "Deleted" project as "services" but I lost the visibility of "admin" project instead.

It happens with the Charmed OpenStack when projects in other domains have resources, but it's not reproducible with devstack with the following steps.

$ cat local.conf
[[local|localrc]]
ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret
DATABASE_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD
RABBIT_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD
SERVICE_PASSWORD=$ADMIN_PASSWORD

$ ./stack.sh

$ openstack domain create another_domain

$ openstack project create \
    --domain another_domain \
    another_project_in_another_domain

$ openstack user create \
    --domain another_domain \
    --project-domain another_domain \
    --project another_project_in_another_domain \
    --password secret \
    another_user

$ openstack role add \
    --user another_user \
    --project another_project_in_another_domain \
    member

$ openstack server create --image cirros-0.5.2-x86_64-disk \
    --flavor m1.tiny test-server-by-another-user

"Deleted" could happen when horizon cannot read the project name:
