Error on image-upload

[cleeyv]

When trying to use linode-cli image-upload I'm getting the following error on an Arch-based system with the build of linode-cli from the AUR (version 5.8.1):

$ linode-cli image-upload --label "nixos-test" nixos.img.gz
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/linode-cli", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('linode-cli===fatal.-.N.o', 'console_scripts', 'linode-cli')())
  File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/linodecli/__init__.py", line 407, in main
    plugins.invoke(parsed.command, plugin_args, context)

    context.client.config.update(parsed)
TypeError: update() missing 1 required positional argument: 'allowed_defaults'

I'm also seeing the same error when running linode-cli from the NixOS unstable channel (also version 5.8.1):

$  linode-cli image-upload --label "nixos-test" nixos.img.gz
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have never used the image-upload plugin before so I don't have an example of a previously working version to compare to. Let me know if there's anything further I should try to workaround or debug this. Thanks.

Thanks for the report! We only officially support the python distribution of the Linode CLI - the official method of installation is pip install linode-cli. As such, I'd recommend trying the official distribution to see if that works (you can install it in a python virtualenv if you want to try it without interfering with your current installation).

That said, I'm going to turn up a new Arch machine and see if I can reproduce this issue. I'll report back in a bit.

I have reproduced the error when running the pip-installed version of linode-cli (5.8.1) in a venv:

$ linode-cli image-upload --label "nixos-test" ../nixos.img.gz

  File "~/dev/linode-cli/env/bin/linode-cli", line 8, in <module>

Thanks for verifying; I saw that too. Pushed up a fix - my bad. I'll get this released this afternoon.

This is fixed in version 5.8.2, which is live in pypi (I don't know when other repositories will update)
