The CLI options do not have a 'url' or 'token' attribute defined. Adding a dummy
'url' option to the args parser in osc_lib allowed the client program to run.

[Dean Troyer (dtroyer)]

Was any authentication information set in the environment or via clouds.yaml?

Is this still an issue with the current release or master? We've made a series of changes to auth chasing down issues similar to this and the error may have changed or gone away by now.

[Atmesh (atmesh-mishra)]

I have installed python-openstackclient 3.12.0, it is giving me the same error. I used environment variables on macOS to set auth info.
