ReconfigVM_Task disk edit about vsphere-connect HOT 4 CLOSED

What version of vsphere-connect are you using?

You probably need to define a device type. See this issue #12

from vsphere-connect.

I am using v1 of vsphere-connect. Btw this works:

'ReconfigVM_Task',
            {
              _this: util.moRef('VirtualMachine', virtualMachine.moref),
              spec: {
                deviceChange: {
                  device: {
                    key: dbVirtualDisk.key,
                  },
                  operation: 'remove',
                },
              },
            },```

from vsphere-connect.

If anyone could tell me how such request should look like from object point of view. That's would be great. TRying to do all actions on vm to add/edit/remove a disk

After some investigation this seems to work

client.method('ReconfigVM_Task',
      {
        _this: moref,
        spec: {
          deviceChange: [{
            device: {
              attributes: { 'xsi:type': 'VirtualDisk' },
              key: device.key,
              capacityInKB: newCapacity,
              unitNumber: device.unitNumber,
              controllerKey: device.controllerKey,
              backing: {
                attributes: { 'xsi:type': 'VirtualDiskFlatVer2BackingInfo' },
                fileName: device.backing.fileName,
                diskMode: device.backing.diskMode,
              },
            },
            operation: 'edit',
          }],
        },
      })

where device is the retrieved disk device.

What remains unsolved is how to automatically retrieve the xsi:type for the original device and its backing since they aren't conveyed in the js representation of the original soap response.
