I have encountered this a several times. Is there a good way to avoid this?

Guess no one will test on different distros. or, the developer should read the libvirt doc carefully. and we should carefully, it is better to use libvirt defined flags(such as libvirt.VIR_DOMAIN_RUNNING.) if possible On 03/07/2014 10:47 AM, Aline Manera wrote: > From: Aline Manera <alinefm(a)br.ibm.com&gt; > > Some libvirt versions do not set the default value for flags, so we > need to > explicity set it. > > libvirt.virDomain.state = state(self, flags) unbound > libvirt.virDomain method > > Otherwise, the following error will be raised > > [06/Mar/2014:23:40:05] HTTP Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", > line 656, in respond > response.body = self.handler() > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cherrypy/lib/encoding.py", > line 188, in __call__ > self.body = self.oldhandler(*args, **kwargs) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cherrypy/_cpdispatch.py", > line 34, in __call__ > return self.callable(*self.args, **self.kwargs) > File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/control/base.py", line 71, > in wrapper > ident = fn(*model_args) > File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/model/networks.py", line > 214, in deactivate > if self._get_vms_attach_to_a_network(name, "running"): > File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/model/networks.py", line > 199, in _get_vms_attach_to_a_network > state == dom.state()[0]): > File "/home/alinefm/kimchi/src/kimchi/model/libvirtconnection.py", > line 62, in wrapper > ret = f(*args, **kwargs) > TypeError: state() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given) > > Signed-off-by: Aline Manera <alinefm(a)br.ibm.com&gt; > --- > src/kimchi/model/networks.py | 2 +- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/src/kimchi/model/networks.py b/src/kimchi/model/networks.py > index f032875..0d6ccec 100644 > --- a/src/kimchi/model/networks.py > +++ b/src/kimchi/model/networks.py > @@ -196,7 +196,7 @@ class NetworkModel(object): > for dom in conn.listAllDomains(0): > networks = self._vm_get_networks(dom) > if network in networks and (state is None or > - state == dom.state()[0]): > + state == dom.state(0)[0]): > vms.append(dom.name()) > return vms >
