Unclear / Ambiguous error message calling volume list

[jnoller]

Using openstack client (latest: trunk) against rackspace cloud; with the following environment exports:

export OS_REGION_NAME=DFW
export OS_USERNAME=...
export OS_TENANT_NAME=" "
export OS_PASSWORD=...
export OS_AUTH_URL=https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0

Result:

[osclient] pug:python-openstackclient jesse$ openstack volume list

It's unclear from the ERROR line what filter (the help options aren't clear as well) should be applied. Here's the verbose options:

You can filter volumes by name, status or project. Were you able to get it working at all?

[Steve Martinelli (stevemar)]

Can you try filtering by name?

for example:
(.venv)openstack@plwdevstack:/opt/stack/python-openstackclient$ openstack volume list --name myVol
+--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+----------+
| ID | Display Name | Status | Size | Attached |
+--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+----------+
| 86080e03-7ee6-4bbb-a40b-64e5aa21b61c | myVol | available | 1 | |
+--------------------------------------+--------------+-----------+------+----------+

[Dean Troyer (dtroyer)]

I think this is due to having multiple endpoints in the service catalog. Actually, multiple regions. There is another bug about regions not working (https://bugs.launchpad.net/python-openstackclient/+bug/1254168), these may be related.

[Terry Howe (thowe-g)]

For volumes, I was able to fix the problem by adding region_name in the client. It still generates the ambiguous error if nothing is set or past though, but that error kind of makes sense to me.

I don't mind the warning, but error is unsettling.
