I'm not really following, if anything this is a bug in python- openstackclient because the REST API for nova clearly requires a flavor id, not a name:
http://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/?expanded=delete-flavor- detail#delete-flavor So the openstackclient code has to handle the 404 and then look for the flavor by the given name, then make the DELETE request with the id, that's what novaclient does anyway. There is also no way currently to filter flavors by name. ** Changed in: nova Status: New => Invalid ** Also affects: python-openstackclient Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo! Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1651312 Title: Request to delete flavor by name always returns 404 error Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Invalid Bug description: GET /v2/{tenant_id}/flavors/{flavor_name} always returns 404. This first request to Nova-api is always returned with 404 when name is given as parameter. Because in \nova\api\openstack\compute\flavors.py\show(self, req, id) flavor is fetched by id (flavor=flavor.get_flavor_by_flavor_id(id, ctxt=context)). This raises 404 Exception as there is no implementation for fetching flavor by name. However, client is sending Delete-flavor request using name, not id. Steps to reproduce: ========================================================= 1. Delete a flavor by name command: openstack flavor delete <flavor_name> 2. Fetch nova-api.log Expected Result ========================================================= Flavor to be fetched by name. And then a DELETE request is to be made. Actual Result ========================================================= Flavor is not found by name. Then a GET request is made to fetch all the flavors. Then Flavor is fetched by id. Then a DELETE request is made.
