openstack heat client returns "region_name" for stack commands

[Kev]

Expect heat plugin to work but only get strange text response "region_name".

# openstack stack list
region_name

# openstack stack file list test1
region_name

# openstack --os-region-name=region2 stack list
region_name

The base client works as expected

# openstack server list
+--------------------------------------+---------+--------+------------------------------------------+
| ID | Name | Status | Networks |

Version is
openstack 2.4.0

OS is alpine, specifically this: https://github.com/jmcvea/docker-openstack-client

Presumably there is a configuration problem but it is not the region name and the output is meaningless. Unfortunately I have no idea where to start troubleshooting this.

I am using a standard env configuration script so the only configuration supplied are the environment variables, which do include OS_REGION_NAME:
OS_PASSWORD
OS_REGION_NAME
OS_AUTH_URL
OS_PROJECT_NAME
OS_USERNAME
OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME
OS_PROJECT_ID

It seems to work fine for me with the below versions. I'm not familiar with openstack on alpine and docker-openstackclient.

[stack@f24-devstack ~]$ pip freeze | grep 'openstackclient\|heatclient'
python-heatclient==1.6.1
python-openstackclient==3.4.1

[stack@f24-devstack ~]$ openstack --os-region-name=RegionOne stack list

I have the same problem.

With python-openstackclient==2.6.0 and python-heatclient==1.5.0 everything works fine.

With python-openstackclient==2.6.0 and python-heatclient==1.6.1 and python-heatclient==1.7.0 executing

openstack stack list (or any ohter openstack stack commands) returns "region_name"

Your python-openstackclient seems quite old. I think there are some breaking changes with python-openstackclient and osc-lib off late. Probably you can try python-openstackclient>=3.3.0 with newer heat versions.

[Rabi Mishra (rabi)]

I mean newer python-heatclient versions.

[Magnus Lööf (magnus-loof)]

I believe python-openstackclient==2.6.0 is required for Kolla.

[Rabi Mishra (rabi)]

I don't see that. It seems to be a test requirement and >=3.3.0[1] on master.

[Magnus Lööf (magnus-loof)]

I am running 3.0.2. In the requirement file there it specifies >=2.1

And I remember having trouble with python-openstackclient > 2.6.0 and therefore pinned it to that version. And did not pin python-heatclient :-(

But, I will for sure test updating.
