v2 API can't create image - Attribute 'file' is reserved.

[Sam Morrison]

Trying to create an image with V2 API and get the following error:

glance --os-image-api-version 2 --os-image-url http://glance-icehouse:9292/ image-create --container-format bare --disk-format raw --name trusty2 --file trusty-server-cloudimg-amd64-disk1.img
Request returned failure status.
403 Forbidden
Attribute 'file' is reserved.
    (HTTP 403)

It works fine if I do --os-image-api-version 1

I think this is actually a glanceclient bug.
In glance v2, the image creation and image data upload are two separate steps. The reason why this command is failing is because image-create is actually trying to create a property 'file' with value 'cirros-0.3.1-x86_64-disk.img'. It is not trying to read and upload the contents of that file.

[Chris Buccella (chris-buccella)]

Is this even a glanceclient bug? Diffing "glance help image-create" between v1 and v2 clearly shows a difference, with "--file" being described as READ-ONLY in v2. To be fair though, what "--file" is actually meant for the isn't all that clear.

I have confirmed this is a glanceclient bug, this command also does not work with a Havana glance server

Seems to work ok now

$ glance --os-image-api-version 2 image-create --container-format bare --disk-format raw --name trusty2 --file /etc/fstab
