Keep getting "IndexError: list index out of range" in vinfo.py #35
Description
Full error:
File "/home/bob/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/rvtools/vinfo/vinfo.py", line 8, in get_obj
obj = container.view[0].name
IndexError: list index out of range
Here is the function where it is failing:
def get_obj(content, vimtype):
obj = None
container = content.viewManager.CreateContainerView(content.rootFolder, vimtype, True)
obj = container.view[0].name
# for c in container.view:
# if name:
# if c.name == name:
# obj = c
# break
# else:
# obj = c
# break
return obj
Trouble shooting:
- Tried using the ~/.rvtools conf file, also used directly inline.
- Edited vinfo.py to do some print statements to backtrack, Here is the function, added the following print statements:
def get_obj(content, vimtype):
obj = None
container = content.viewManager.CreateContainerView(content.rootFolder, vimtype, True)
print("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1")
print(container.view[0].name)
print("!!!!!!!!!!!!!!2")
obj = container.view[0].name
# for c in container.view:
# if name:
# if c.name == name:
# obj = c
# break
# else:
# obj = c
# break
return obj
Here is the output I get now:

IndexError: list index out of range
- Note when I force the string "MyDataCenter" into "datacenter" for line 358, then the error appears on line 636 for the cluster.
Workaround
- I ended up not using the "get_obj" function, and just defined my datacenter and cluster names as strings. This seemed to work. Also not we do not have a cluster, our hosts are attached directly to the datacenter (Wonder if this is the issue?), I put "none" for cluster.
I am not a python guru, so any feedback you could provide would be helpful. It looks like the function is trying to pull the datacenter name out of the object, and it looks like it succeeds based on the sytnax container.view[0].name, but for whatever reason the get_obj function fails.
