cliff-based client including neutronclient and openstackclient supports various formatters. I don't think it is a good idea to depend on the output of 'table' formatter. My understanding is 'table' formatter (the default formatter) is for human readability. IMHO it is better to use json formatter or value formatter if we need to pick up a returned value. You can use '-f json' or '-f value -c id' with xxxx-create.
This is the reason I proposed fixes around non-table formatters like https://review.openstack.org/#/c/255696/ or https://review.openstack.org/#/c/284088/. Anyway, it is bad to break devstack :( 2016-02-25 2:32 GMT+09:00 Carl Baldwin <c...@ecbaldwin.net>: > I ran this by our all-knowing PTL who told me to go back to > cliff==1.15.0.
