No error displayed on volume attachment fail (need to get errors that happen after initial response)

We have the same issue. The volume can be only managed using command-line and ID. When we are trying to use volume name (while deleting/attaching volume) then we have the same error as above.

In order to do this we need a way to be notified by Glance of failures that happen *after* the initial response. Until then, Horizon is basically incapable of finding out what the error was.

Gabriel - did you mean some way of being notified by nova-volume of attachment failures (as opposed to be notified by glance)?

Eoghan: I believe he did. Replaced Glance target with Nova.

Since this is unassigned and wishlisted in Nova, there's nothing Horizon can do. Bumping this out of any milestone. We may get around to solving realtime communications before nova actually does anything about this...

I believe this has been resolved in cinder as I get error messages when volume attachments fail.

Cinder did not solve this issue. The problem is that the nova-attach is an asyn call. when you call nova-attach it returns OK (200). Then the process of attaching begins. If any failure occurs, horizon does not know how to track the task thus the error which cinder raises will be lost. Either nova or horizon need to change to track any errors so the failure is not silent.

How about using TaskAPI which can track request about instance?

This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on. This bug can be reopened (set back to "New") if someone decides to work on this.

Horizon side depends on Nova change and there seems no activity in nova side. We, horizon team, remove horizon from the affected project and would like to file a bug or a feature request once nova supports some kind of feature on this.
