Getting cluster config fails with encoding error (base64)

[Yannic Ahrens]

When I run try to retrieve the configuration of a Kubernetes cluster spawned by Magnum I receive a TypeError.

''openstack --debug coe cluster config <cluster>'' returns the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

 encoded = binascii.b2a_base64(s, newline=False)
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

I figure that replacing the offending statements (e.g. 'key': base64.b64encode(certs['key'])) with the corresponding oslo functionality (oslo_serialization.base64.encode_as_text) resolves the problem.

* Platform: Ubuntu 18.10
* Python 3.6.7
* python-magnumclient: 2.11 (reproducible with upstream master)

Can you move this to storyboard? I'll make this launchpad account non writable as the magnum one.

this seems to be an issue only in python3.6 I was able to reproduce.

Sure! https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2004902

I am getting same issue.

# openstack coe cluster config k8s-cluster --dir ~/my_k8s
a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

Nevermind this resolved my issue

# Remove older version
$ sudo apt-get purge python3-magnumclient

# Install newer version
$ pip3 install python-magnumclient
