integration-of-solum-dashboard-in-horizon-fails

[Devdatta Kulkarni]

We have solum-dashboard repo [1] which outlines the steps required to get the solum horizon plugin integrated into Horizon.

[1] https://github.com/openstack/solum-dashboard

When I tried the steps specified in the repo's README I am getting following error on the horizon screen:

What is your version of OpenStack?
And what's your version of installed Django?

In recent, Horizon stopped the support for pre-Django 1.8.
(https://github.com/openstack/horizon/commit/83c9e3fead4236e8e958342f29954b27bbb9f0c3)

In this commit, the statement related with the middleware package "django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware" was changed.

Han,

After updating the requirements I was able to get the Solum Horizon plugin loaded into Horizon.

This issue was fixed in the openstack/solum-dashboard 1.0.1 release.

The dashboard needs to follow a slightly different directory structure as given by this tutorial for plugins in Horizon: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/tutorials/dashboard.html
