  • What instructions did you follow to set up the CLI? – James Thomas Aug 15 '18 at 08:17
  • i used this, https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/master/ansible/README.md – Prabhash Rathnayake Aug 15 '18 at 09:10
  • You seem to be on IBM Cloud Functions (OpenWhisk). Are you aware of https://console.bluemix.net/docs/openwhisk/bluemix_cli.html#cloudfunctions_cli? Are you logged in to IBM Cloud? – data_henrik Aug 15 '18 at 09:43
  • The API Host should not be `openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net` if you are deploying OpenWhisk on a local machine. Where do you want to use OpenWhisk? – James Thomas Aug 15 '18 at 10:59
  • @JamesThomas yeah the problem should be in the API Host as I manually changed it several times. I deployed OpenWhisk again on gcloud and now it is perfectly working, `whisk API host 35.227.94.111` is my new API host. Thanks for the concern. CHEERS!! – Prabhash Rathnayake Aug 15 '18 at 14:03

In the configuration shown, the API host is shown as openwhisk.ng.bluemix.net. If you are deploying OpenWhisk locally, this should be the IP address of the local host.
