Having an issue creating a VM in Openstack compute, when I try and create it throws the error message in the title. After having a look on github there is one other instance of this where the resolution is to change variable name “image and flavor” name to ID which resolves the issue but in my instance it doesnt.
As you can see from below the main.tf file is very bare bones and switching between image and flavour name and ID does not work so wondering if anyone has any advice or help. Please see details below.
variable “password” {
description = “Password for signin”
type = string
sensitive = true
}
Error: Error creating OpenStack compute client: json: cannot unmarshal array into Go struct field response.versions of type utils.versionsResp

The error you report, means that the client library for interacting with the OpenStack API is failing to process the shape of the JSON returned from the OpenStack server. This probably indicates a bug in the client code.
You should attempt the apply with TF_LOG_PROVIDER=debug in the environment and see if the extra debug logging enables you to identify the exact OpenStack API call that is failing, and what is being returned. You can swap debug for trace to turn the logging level up even higher, if needed.
I have run the debug before but personally havent found there to be much other than was the error message it is saying unless im missing something:

It is possible that terraform-provider-openstack just doesn’t log much. It would be necessary to examine the source code to make sure.
It’s probably worth filing a GitHub issue at this point, unless you find an existing very similar one. It certainly seems like there’s a bug of some sort.
Any information you can provide to help someone else reproduce the problem would be helpful. I don’t have my own OpenStack instance, though, so I can’t try.
