> Creating an image from a root persistent disk causes NullPointerException on
> GCE

> Key: JCLOUDS-649
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-649
> Project: jclouds
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: jclouds-labs-google
> Affects Versions: 1.7.3
> Environment: Debian Wheezy
> Reporter: Sunil Shah
> Assignee: Chris Custine

> When we create an image using the instructions at
> https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/images#creating_an_image_from_a_root_persistent_disk
> and add it to our project, using JClouds to list images fails with a
> NullPointerException:
> context.getComputeService.listImages()
> Full stack trace is here: https://gist.github.com/ssk2/5ee56af7f0976b4b1e9d
> This appears to be because adding an image this way (using gcutil addimage
> but with source_disk specified) doesn't set the "rawDisk" attribute for the
> image, whereas other images have this set (whether official or added by using
> gcutil addimage without source_disk specified).
> A working image added using gcutil addimage without source_disk specified:
> {code:javascript}
