Error creating Farm Role using API2

[Chidambar Kulkarni]

Hi,

I am getting an error while trying to automate using Scalr API2. I get an error message "API Error (InvalidStructure): You must describe a VPC Router" HTTP bad request when I am trying to create Farm Role using the API "POST /api/v1beta0/user/<env_id>/farms/<farm_id>/farm-roles/". Below is the JSON request body that is being posted to the API as mentioned in the API2 documentation here: https://api-explorer.scalr.com/user/farms/farm-roles/post.html,

Note: Subnet id specified below is a private subnet.

{'role': {'id': 83190}, 'scaling': {'maxInstances': '2', 'enabled': True, 'minInstances': '1'}, 'instance': {instanceType': {'id': 'm3.xlarge'}, 'instanceConfigurationType': 'AwsInstanceConfiguration'}, 'platform': 'ec', 'placement': {'region': 'us-east-1', 'subnets': [{'id': 'subnet-7bb1ef22'}], 'placementConfigurationType': 'AwsVpcPlacementConfiguration'}, 'alias': 'auto-micro-dcs-webportal'}

I am able to automate most of the other things that include creating roles, scripts, orchestration rules, images, global variables, farm etc. except farm role as stated above. I would appreciate any help in this regard.

Thanks,

Chidambar

Hi Chidambar,

I received word that you had asked this question at the end of our recent APIv2 webinar.  As we had answered there, this issue appears to be related to a farm role validation problem that was resolved in our latest Open Source Scalr release.  If you have not already done so, please update to latest and test once more for issue resolution.

Many thanks,
