Not able to create slice

[Amanda Tomlinson]

I have a simple notebook where I create the fablib_manager, check to see the environment variables are loaded with fablib.show_config(), then I try to create a slice with:

slice = fablib.new_slice(name=slice_name)

Which does not fail. However, trying to add nodes or manipulate the slice fails with the error message: “Exception: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘project_id'”

When I call slice.show(), I get the following stack trace:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks like all of my environment variables are correct. I generated a token right before running the code. My notebook is:

from fabrictestbed_extensions.fablib.fablib import FablibManager as fablib_manager

fablib = fablib_manager(fabric_rc="/path/to/fabric_rc")
fablib.show_config() # looks correct

try:
slice = fablib.new_slice(name=slice_name)
except Exception as e:
print(e)

slice.show() # error

The entire FABRIC is red this week: https://portal.fabric-testbed.net/resources/all

See notice here: https://learn.fabric-testbed.net/forums/topic/multi-day-fabric-maintenance-january-1-5-2024/

Look at this part:

On other sites, slices will continue running, and slivers will be accessible during the maintenance, however, we will place the testbed in maintenance mode between Jan 1-5, therefore it will not be possible to perform slice operations (create, extend, delete).

FABRIC is under maintenance. Details are on https://learn.fabric-testbed.net/forums/topic/multi-day-fabric-maintenance-january-1-5-2024/

[Amanda Tomlinson]

Thank you both. I’m still unable to create slices today. I’ve re-generated my fabric token but I’m getting the same error as above. Is there anything else I need to do now that the maintenance is complete?

[Mert Cevik]

Hello Amanda,

Can you check the information on https://learn.fabric-testbed.net/forums/topic/fabric-testbed-is-open-and-ready-for-use/

about the requirements.txt file and fablib update (fabrictestbed-extensions) ?

[Paul Ruth]

One thing to check…. Does your notebook contain an unmodified version of this line?:

fablib = fablib_manager(fabric_rc="/path/to/fabric_rc") 

If it does, you need to modify the path to point to your actual fabric_rc file.

Thanks for the responses. I have updated to the latest version of fablib extensions, and I don’t have a requirements.txt in my environment (that I saw). And I do point to my fabric_rc. I attached a screenshot of my jupiter notebook.

I have also tried restarting the kernel and restarting the jupiter notebook..

[Paul Ruth]

Can you try adding back in the following line and report the output?

fablib.show_config()

Also, it looks like I am able to create slices on JupiterHub, which is on version 1.6.0. I can try upgrading if there is a newer release.

[Paul Ruth]

I think I see the issue now.

In your example you have something like:

from fabrictestbed_extensions.fablib.fablib import FablibManager as fablib_manager
fablib = fablib_manager()
slice = fablib.new_slice(name='MySlice')
slice.show()

The problem is that when you are calling slice.show() the slice does not yet exist.  You need to create the slice first.  Add some nodes/networks something like the following:

from fabrictestbed_extensions.fablib.fablib import FablibManager as fablib_manager
fablib = fablib_manager()
slice = fablib.new_slice(name='MySlice')
node = slice.add_node(name='node1', site='STAR', image="default_rocky_8" )
slice.submit()
slice.show()

This should work.  That said, I think you should be able to slice.show() a slice that is only half built and has not been submitted yet.  This is a bug that we will look into.

Let me know if this works for you.
