CloudMonkey: Does the JSON output feature work for the 4.1 branch at all?
Dear all,
I have been trying CloudMonkey for a couple of days. Both the 4.1 release
note [1] and wiki [2] mention the JSON output feature, but as I have tried,
non of the following versions support this feature:
* Install via "pip install cloudmonkey" (4.1.0-1)
* Build from 4.1.0 source code (4.1.0-0)
* Build from git 4.1 branch (4.1.1-0)
They still expect the "tabularize = true/false" parameter in
~/.cloudmonkey/config. The new "display = default/json/table" has no effect.
It does work in the master branch, however. Looking at CLOUDSTACK-1875: Add
JSON output into cloudmonkey [3], I think the above behaviors are the old
ways, and this fix is not backported to 4.1, anyway.
If JSON output support is considered a "4.2 new feature," should that be
mentioned in the 4.1 release note? Or as a user, do I have to wait so long
until 4.2 for a stable release of CloudMonkey?
I think it also relates to the recent discussion of moving CloudMonkey out
of the main repo. Then I'm +1 toward that :DD.
CloudMonkey as a tool should be independent of other CloudStack components.
At least, it should have a much shorter release cycle.

Thanks for the reply. I did follow your discussion. I guess currently these
three methods ensure the latest version:
* Build from the master branch
* The temporary new pypi https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloudmonkey-latest/
* The possible new git repo
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cloudstack-cloudmonkey.git
Then the instructions in 4.1.1 Developer's Guide will need to be changed to
avoid confusion for existing users.

Re: CloudMonkey: Does the JSON output feature work for the 4.1 branch
at all?

Hi,
The 4.1/pip/pypi version when it starts it should say 4.1.0-1, it does not
have the display field, it was only added on master after the 4.1 branch
was frozen.
The json output works for me using the master branch. So, pl. build and
install cloudmonkey from the master branch.
We're in process to move cloudmonkey to its own repo and possibly its own
release process which would make it easier for users to have the latest and
greatest. I agree users should not have to wait for months for new updates.
For this reason, I had earlier created an unofficial channel on pypi [1]
and one can install it [2] but this adds more confusion for the users so
I'll get rid of it once we'll have separate repo/releases.
[1] https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloudmonkey-latest/
[2] pip uninstall cloudmonkey; pip install cloudmonkey-latest (this has
same cmd tool name though; cloudmonkey).
Hope this helps.
