Sorry for top-posting, but there's not really a good place to inline
comment.

First, let's tackle logging in devstack...

When using devstack, you noticed that it logs to the screen session by
default. To make devstack ALSO log to a file, put the following in your
localrc:

LOG_COLOR=False
SCREEN_LOGDIR=/opt/stack/logs

And re-run stack.sh. You will now find the various service log files in
/opt/stack/logs.

Second, let's handle the JSON issue...

Nova isn't trying to decode a file. It's trying to JSON-decode the
string you're putting on the command line:

--hint query=['>=','$free_ram_mb',1024]

The novaclient is passing the string "['>=','$free_ram_mb',1024]" to the
jsonutils.loads() function, which is what is failing. You can try
parsing this string yourself and see that the failure is raised the same
as appears in the log:

jpipes at uberbox:~/repos/tempest$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 20 2012, 22:39:59)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import json
>>> p = json.loads("['>=','$free_ram_mb',1024]")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 326, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 366, in decode
    obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 384, in raw_decode
    raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")
ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

The problem is the string needs to be properly formatted JSON, and
single-quotes are not allowed -- you need to use double-quotes:

>>> p = json.loads('[">=","$free_ram_mb",1024]')
>>> print p
[u'>=', u'$free_ram_mb', 1024]

Try your command like this instead:

nova --debug boot --image 827d564a-e636-4fc4-a376-d36f7ebe1747 --flavor
1 --hint query='[">=","$free_ram_mb",1024]' server1

And I think you should be fine, as the following proof shows:

jpipes at uberbox:~/repos/tempest$ echo '[">=","$free_ram_mb",1024]' |
python -mjson.tool
[
    ">=",
    "$free_ram_mb",
    1024
]


Best,
-jay
