template validate does not work for stack resource

[Snow Cherry]

How to reproduce the problem:
1. files list
# filename: f.yaml
heat_template_version: 2013-05-23

resources:
  s:
    type: s.yaml

# filename: s.yaml
heat_template_version: 2013-05-23

2. run template-validate
heat template-validate -f f.yaml

It will output error like:
ERROR: Could not fetch remote template "file:///private/tmp/s.yaml": Failed to retrieve template: <urlopen error [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/private/tmp/s.yaml'>

While you can use heat stack-create to create stack:
heat stack-create -f f.yaml f

Why it's important?

You know horizon is using template-validate to validate stack and get parameters list. So if the bug not fixed, all scenario using stack resource can not be supported by horizon, even command line works.

I use devstack with Heat code from master branch and I can not reproduce this issue.

skr ~ $ heat template-validate -f f.yaml
{
  "Description": "No description",
  "Parameters": {}
}

Try to update your Heat code. May be you use old code? Which version of Heat do you have?

I don't see this issue with master too.

Can you please install python-heatclient 0.6.0 and try again?

works fine with 0.6.0

Also same issue found on heat version 0.2.8

[Neetu Jain (nutshi)]

$ heat template-validate --template-file f.yaml
{
  "Description": "No description",
  "Parameters": {}
}
$ heat --version
0.4.1
