Looks like it's still an issue for v2.1 in Newton, we have no compat mode check for this it looks like:

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1582911 Title: Relaxed validation for v2 doesn't accept null for user_data like legacy v2 does (liberty) Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Confirmed Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) liberty series: Confirmed Status in OpenStack Compute (nova) mitaka series: Confirmed Bug description: Description =========== When moving to the relaxed validation [1] implementation of the v2 API under the v2.1 code base, a 'nova boot' request with "user_data": null fails with the error: Returning 400 to user: Invalid input for field/attribute user_data. Value: None. None is not of type 'string' Under the legacy v2 code base, such a request is allowed. Steps to reproduce ================== Using the legacy v2 code base under Liberty, make a nova boot call using the following json payload: { "server": { "name": "mgdlibertyBBC", "flavorRef": "1", "imageRef": "626ce751-744f-4830-9d38-5e9e4f70fe3f", "user_data": null, "metadata": { "created_by": "mdorman" }, "security_groups": [ { "name": "default" } ], "availability_zone": "glbt1-dev-lab-zone-1,glbt1-dev-lab-zone-2,", "key_name": "lm126135-mdorm" } } The request succeeds and the instance is created. However, using the v2 implementation from the v2.1 code base with the same json payload fails: 2016-05-17 12:47:02.336 18296 DEBUG nova.api.openstack.wsgi [req- 6d5d4100-7c0c-4ffa-a40c-4a086a473293 mdorman 40e94f951b704545885bdaa987a25154 - - -] Returning 400 to user: Invalid input for field/attribute user_data. Value: None. None is not of type 'string' __call__ /usr/lib/python2.7/site- packages/nova/api/openstack/wsgi.py:1175 Expected result =============== The behavior of the v2 API in the v2.1 code base should be exactly the same as the legacy v2 code base. Actual result ============= Request fails under v2.1 code base, but succeeds under legacy v2 code base. Environment =========== Liberty, 12.0.3 tag (stable/liberty branch on 4/13/2016.
