[breakage related to os-client-config 1.28.0] os-client-config 1.28.0 add a check if filebased and envvars are both used. This check causes OSC unit test failure. OSC now instantiates OpenStackConfig twice as a workaround. The unit test mocks _load_config_file() and it returns a config dict, but os-client-config OpenStackConfig.__init__ updates the dict returned. As a result, when OpenStackConfig is instantiated second time, the mock of _load_config_file returns a modified version of the config dict. This hits the new check in os-client-config 1.28.0. This commit changes the mock to use side_effect rather than return_value to ensure the original dict is used. [breakage related to osc-lib 1.7.0] The change in osc-lib 1.7.0 added "if" logic to avoid calling get() twice. In tests.unit.volume.test_find_resource, kwargs is empty dict in find_resource(), so the second call to get() is NOT called now. Removing the second elements of side_effect addresses the unit failure.

OpenStackClient
OpenStackClient (aka OSC) is a command-line client for OpenStack that brings the command set for Compute, Identity, Image, Object Store and Block Storage APIs together in a single shell with a uniform command structure.
The primary goal is to provide a unified shell command structure and a common language to describe operations in OpenStack.

Getting Started
OpenStack Client can be installed from PyPI using pip:
pip install python-openstackclient
There are a few variants on getting help. A list of global options
and supported commands is shown with --help
:
openstack --help
There is also a help
command that can be used to get
help text for a specific command:
openstack help
openstack help server create
If you want to make changes to the OpenStackClient for testing and contribution, make any changes and then run:
python setup.py develop
or:
pip install -e .
Configuration
The CLI is configured via environment variables and command-line options as listed in http://docs.openstack.org/python-openstackclient/authentication.html.
Authentication using username/password is most commonly used:
export OS_AUTH_URL=<url-to-openstack-identity>
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=<project-name>
export OS_USERNAME=<username>
export OS_PASSWORD=<password> # (optional)
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-auth-url <url>
--os-project-name <project-name>
--os-username <username>
[--os-password <password>]
If a password is not provided above (in plaintext), you will be interactively prompted to provide one securely.
Authentication may also be performed using an already-acquired token and a URL pointing directly to the service API that presumably was acquired from the Service Catalog:
export OS_TOKEN=<token>
export OS_URL=<url-to-openstack-service>
The corresponding command-line options look very similar:
--os-token <token>
--os-url <url-to-openstack-service>
