I have an other issue with heat. Now that the template is being parsed successfully. The creation is never complete and heat doesn't report any error. I noticed in the dashboard that heat created two of each ressource spaned at the same time. One is creation_complete and the other is in progress.

The heat_engine.log is just so huge as a enabled the debug mode. But i can't see any relevant information out there

Oh, sorry again. It's not even on github. I was mistaken. Probably I confused the github repo with this tuto as I was looking at both. Anyway, I took the parameter_groups from it not from github. Next time i'll pay more attention to what I say.

You were right, once I removed the parameter_groups and corrected some parameters. My template was parsed correctly without errors.

Where on github? If it's an official repo we should fix it.

I've raised an upstream bug[1] so we can improve the error message, and
possibly the user-guide documentation[2] and official heat example
templates[3]

Parameter groups are documented in the HOT spec[4], but it seems like we
can improve things elsewhere.
