[Bug 1559072] Re: exceptions.from_response with webob 1.6.0 results in "AttributeError: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'get'"

Tue Sep 27 21:49:05 UTC 2016

In trying to create a nova flavor from a Xenial machine against a
Xenial-Newton deployment, I see:

00:25:25.978 + nova flavor-create m1.cirros 6 64 1 1
00:25:27.740 ERROR (AttributeError): 'unicode' object has no attribute 'get'

Bug description:
  Running on Ubuntu 14.04.
  After installing nova from source in either the Liberty release or Mitaka, with WebOb 1.6.0, running any nova command generated this error:
  root at openstack-ubu-controller:~# nova service-list
  ERROR (AttributeError): 'unicode' object has no attribute 'get'

  The equivalent openstack commands work correctly. After downgrading
  WebOb to 1.5.1 AND restarting the nova-api service everything works.

  Detailed output from nova -debug service-list with the error:

  Since nova-api must be restarted for this to either take effect or go away (with the WebOb downgrade) this appears to be an issue with the nova-api process. The failing message from the api service is 112 bytes long while the successful one (using downgraded WebOb) is 52 bytes long.
