----------------------------------------
Summary: GCE Compute driver create_node does not accept str for
ex_boot_disk
Key: LIBCLOUD-697
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIBCLOUD-697
Project: Libcloud
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Compute
Reporter: Jason DeTiberus
Priority: Minor
The documentation for the GCE compute driver states that the ex_boot_disk param
for create_node takes either a StorageVolume or str. If you pass a string, it
results in the following traceback:
{code:none}
failed: [localhost] => {"failed": true, "parsed": false}
Traceback (most recent call last):

{code}
The issue appears to be that create_node is passing the ex_boot_disk argument
directly to _create_node_req (where the boot_disk param expects a StorageVolume
or None).
Either the docs need to be updated or create_node should instantiate a
StorageVolume from ex_boot_disk if it is a str.
