Hi Ironic folks,
Yesterday I come across a weird behaviour in python-ironicclient. I discussed
briefly with the problem with Julia and befor creating a bug I would like your
opinion on the problem and potential fix.
When doing nodes.get(resource_id=None), I get back a Node object set with
attribute nodes={nodes: [{uuid: 'blah'}, {uuid: 'bleh'}]}. I guess that is not
expected which is the bug I found and I know where to fix it if we agree to not
change the behavour: If resource_id=None the client is doing a GET on /v1/nodes
which is expected here :
https://github.com/openstack/python-ironicclient/blob/1.8.0/ironicclient/common/base.py#L55.
The thing is, returning the first item of the list while doing a get on
something that doesn't exists is a bit strange. I do not want to do extra
validation on my application side to not pass None to the ironicclient. I would
it to behave correctly: 404 or a even a 400.
What do you think/or prefer?
A. Fixing the bug and not changing actual behaviour of the API
B. Changing the API behaviour and returning a 404 error since resource None is
not found
C. Changing the API behaviour and returning a 400 error because None is not a
valid request. The will be identical to the command line that is doing this:
ironic node-show None
Invalid input for field/attribute node_ident. Value: 'None'. unable to convert
to uuid_or_name (HTTP 400)
Thanks
Max
