AFAICT - the API says a request with no description in the body should be allowed: http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref-compute-v2-ext.html
In the controller, the description value is not checked but goes to validate_property... https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/3e5062a8ddf94351389f7e201959591b26f338a4/nova/api/openstack/compute/contrib/security_groups.py#L190-L207 At validate_property though, it errors out when any value is not a string https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/d33184b6f890256b332e75bd46a58823cac663ff/nova/compute/api.py#L3855-L3880 To me, this seems like an issue with nova's implementation not matching it's API. In this case the API seems correct as description should always be optional. We can and should proceed with the OSC fix as a band-aid solution, but should mark a TODO to change it when the nova side is resolved. ** Also affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
