SearchIndex - What am I doing wrong

[rhyselsmore]

Hi all,

First of all thanks for this great library, it makes things really easy.

Second of all, I was wondering if you can tell me what I may be doing wrong here:

from psphere.client import Client

from psphere.managedobjects import SearchIndex

client = Client()

client.invoke('FindAllByUuid',SearchIndex,uuid='421a7b64-b9aa-331b-1bc4-bb6816580c19',vmSearch=True,instanceUuid=True)

It appears to be throwing an error during debug which is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:ns0="urn:vim25" xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

   <SOAP-ENV:Header/>

   <ns1:Body>

         <ns0:vmSearch>true</ns0:vmSearch>

         <ns0:instanceUuid>true</ns0:instanceUuid>

      </ns0:FindAllByUuid>

   </ns1:Body>

</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

http failed:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"

</soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

From what I can see, it isn't sending through the _type of searchindex. I am not too sure if this would be the problem.

Thanks in advance for your help, I have dug through the code but I can't see how I can fix this.

Cheers,

Rhys

Am having similar issues trying to find out how to do this... did you figure it out?

I just found that doing the following seems to be working:

client.si.content.searchIndex.FindAllByUuid(uuid='4218e139-a0a2-dfc6-c311-090c098453ce',vmSearch=True)
