Key: LIBCLOUD-41
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-41
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 0.3.0
Environment: Any
Reporter: Steve Steiner
Fix For: 0.3.0
Linode driver throws exception if "location" keyword argument not supplied even
though comments indicate otherwise. All of the other keyword arguments are
also not defaulted which does not match the base.py create_node documentation.
The comments in drivers/linode.py say:
# As Linode requires choosing a datacenter, a little logic is done.
and then go onto describe a process for automatically choosing a datacenter
and/or calling linode_set_datacenter.
Unfortunately, the "location" keyword still has to be passed in or the function
fails since line 239 directly references the parameter (and all the others as
well) without the traditional default handling for non-required keyword
arguments.
Presumably, the default should be properly handled by coding the "little logic"
in place of the comments about it...
Alternatively, handling the linode_set_datacenter setting of self.datacenter
could be used to provide a sensible default.
