Building on Horizon tutorial startdash command broken

[Cindy Lu]

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/topics/tutorial.html

Run the following commands:

====

mkdir openstack_dashboard/dashboards/mydashboard

./run_tests.sh -m startdash mydashboard \
              --target openstack_dashboard/dashboards/mydashboard

====

startdash command is broken. Gives "KeyError: extensions" on this line:

I checked out the stable/juno branch and was able to use it without any errors. Seems like the error is in the master branch.

Hello guys,

I'm sure it's not the right way to do it but I did a quick workaround to make this command work again (not sure it do what expected sic).

1) Add options["extensions"] = [] before the line 50 in the file horizon/horizon/management/commands/startdash.py

2) Add options['files'] = [] before line 89 in the file horizon/.venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/templates.py

Best regards

One more time ... with the startpanel command.

I added a options["extensions"] = [] before line 85 of the /home/jeec6230/Documents/Developments/spyder/horizon/horizon/management/commands/startpanel.py file

I think that the file horizon/.venv/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/templates.py directly related to the Django project. So, in my opinion, we need to wait for a fix in the most Django.
And for the other files:
1) horizon/horizon/management/commands/startdash.py
2) horizon/horizon/management/commands/startpanel.py
I will prepared to make fix and upload to review coming soon.

Hi, so, as we can see the command from our tutorial doesn't work because of this issue. We have the workaround which was described by Coulin Jean-Luc and commited by Alexey Galkin. Let's merge the fix or provide other workaround or fix for the issue.

Thank you!

    Update startdash/startpanel for newer Django patterns

    Django has transitioned to argparse for management commands, and this
    patch migrates Horizon's commands to use the newer patterns.
