Can't pass parameters to method about vsphere-connect HOT 5 CLOSED

User error. :) dataStorePath is invalid -- needed to be datastorePath

from vsphere-connect.

I am not able to specify the enumerated /dynamic types. For instance:
https://pubs.vmware.com/vi3/sdk/ReferenceGuide/vim.host.DatastoreBrowser.Query.html

the FileFolderQuery is simply a marker (has no attributes or members), but I method.js does not seen to be able to map 'FileFolderQuery', ['FileFolderQuery'], or { FileFolderQuery: null } into that dynamic type definition.

Is there any way to specify this using a typing function?

from vsphere-connect.

This also does not work:

const spec = {
    query: vconnect.util.sType('FolderFileQuery'),
    details: {
        fileOwner: false,
        fileSize: true,
        fileType:  false,
        modification: true
    }
};

I noticed the type is defined in the vsphere-schema instance, but still don't see any docs on how to resolve it.

"FolderFileQuery": {
    "type": "FolderFileQuery",
    "inherits": "FileQuery"
  },

from vsphere-connect.

It looks like you are using the v1 code which is no longer in development. In the v2 code which is currently in development you can accomplish this similar to https://github.com/bhoriuchi/vsphere-connect/blob/master/src/spec/VirtualMachine.js#L163 . The v2 api is documented http://bhoriuchi.github.io/vsphere-connect/#/api

If you absolutely need to use the v1 code which uses the node-soap library you can specify an attributes property with the xsi type like here https://github.com/bhoriuchi/vsphere-connect/blob/v1/lib/specUtil.js#L18-L20

from vsphere-connect.

This seems to work:

const spec = {
    details: {
        fileOwner: false,
        fileSize: true,
        fileType:  false,
        modification: true
    },
    query: {
        attributes: {
            'xsi:type': 'FolderFileQuery'
        }
    }
};

Thanks! I will upgrade to v2 shortly, but the v1 fix is super helpful!
