Placement directive for a MAAS system id does not work in a bundle

[Peter Matulis]

This works:

$ juju deploy --to system-id=e4dx7e --channel yoga/stable ch:nova-compute

But this does not:

$ juju deploy ./bundle.yaml

Where bundle.yaml contains:

===

applications:

  nova-compute:
    charm: ch:nova-compute
    channel: yoga/stable
    num_units: 1
    to: system-id=e4dx7e

===

Output:

ERROR cannot deploy bundle: the provided bundle has the following errors:
at least one application must be specified

If I remove the placement directive line ('to: system-id=e4dx7e') then Juju accepts the bundle.

Looks like different placement parsing apis are used depending on if it's a bundle or the CLI. This seems wrong to me.

[Ian Booth (wallyworld)]

I think the bundle version is restricted to specifying placement with a given application rather than the more general option allowed via the CLI.

Could we confirm this still happens on 2.9.38?

[Ian Booth (wallyworld)]

The next 2.9.46 candidate release will not include a fix for this bug and we don't plan on any more 2.9 releases. As such it is being removed from its 2.9 milestone.

If the bug is still important to you, let us know and we can consider it for inclusion on a 3.x milestone.
