vCloud Director plugin not working with libcloud 0.15.1 #46

Closed bowers closed 9 years ago

bowers commented 10 years ago

The existing vCD plugin for CloudBench works for me on RHEL/CentOS when using libcloud 0.14.0 but not libcloud 0.15.1.

I'm investigating the cause.

This can be closed. This was a libcloud problem.

As of libcloud 0.15.1, if lxml is present on a system, it will be used by libcloud to generate the XML strings passed to the cloud API. (This is supposed to make the XML creation faster.) lxml has a problem formatting one (or more) of the strings used with vCloud Director. See LIBCLOUD issue LIBCLOUD-642.

This can be worked around by uninstalling lxml. pip uninstall lxml
