Jenkins / JENKINS-56884 Vsphere plugin : Convert Template to a VM Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: vsphere-cloud-plugin Created: 2019-04-04 13:48 Environment: Jenkins ver. 2.46.2 Vsphere Plugin 2.18 Priority: Major Reporter: Philippe LIMOUZY Hi, I created a job to migrate a Template in VM.  I configured the plugin like this : VSphere Action :  Convert Template to a VM Template , Cluster and Resource Pool are filled correctly. ( Note, the template has been generated by another job with the VSphere action : Convert VM to a Template that work fine )   The job returns sucess but doesn't work, I dont see any interaction with vsphere. there is no task created in Vsphere. In the console output I have : Started by user Philippe [EnvInject] - Loading node environment variables. Building on master in workspace /localdata/tc/current/var/Jenkins/COFLIGHT_SYSTEM/workspace/VMW_CREATE_VM_FROM_TEMPLATE [vSphere] [vSphere] Performing vSphere build step: "Convert template to a VM" [vSphere] Attempting to use server configuration: "Vsphere_Cloud" [vSphere] Converting template to VM. Please wait ... Started calculate disk usage of build Finished Calculation of disk usage of build in 0 seconds Started calculate disk usage of workspace Finished Calculation of disk usage of workspace in 0 seconds Finished: SUCCESS How can I have more traces / logs to understand the problem ? Is it an known bug ? Add Comment

Re: Vsphere plugin : Convert Template to a VM I added a logger on all org.jenkinsci.plugins.vsphere*  library  with the level ALL ... nothing is written  when I use the action Convert Template to a VM The logger works fine as I have some log inputs when I call a job that do a POWER ON on a VM .

Re: Vsphere plugin : Convert Template to a VM

I'd suggest that you log the following at Log level "ALL": vsphere-cloud org.jenkinsci.plugins.folder.FolderVSphereCloudProperty org.jenkinsci.plugins.vsphere org.jenkinsci.plugins.vSphereCloud org.jenkinsci.plugins.vSphereCloudLauncher org.jenkinsci.plugins.vSphereCloudProvisionedSlave org.jenkinsci.plugins.vSphereCloudRunListener org.jenkinsci.plugins.vSphereCloudSlave org.jenkinsci.plugins.vSphereCloudSlaveComputer org.jenkinsci.plugins.vSphereCloudSlaveTemplate org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.vSphereStep FYI logging on this plugin is a bit odd "for historical reasons", i.e. it was like that well before I ever got involved and I (and everyone else who's contributed since) have left that bit alone. Fixing it would be non-trivial, as it would mean moving all the code into a deeper package (e.g. org.jenkinsci.plugins.vsphere) and renaming the classes so they're called "VSphere..." instead of "vSphere...", but then there'd be hell to pay w.r.t. handling the upgrade path and (thus far) nobody's had the courage, the skill and the inclination to do that. Note: It's not a known bug - we turn VMs to templates and templates to VMs where I work and "it works for us" - but there is a known bug whereby most (all?) of the build steps will declare "success" if they fail- my guess is that it's failing silently and you'll see the real error once you've got more logging enabled.
