Can not take snapshots - vboxweb-service errors with VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATE #12

Open smithgcovert1 opened 8 months ago

smithgcovert1 commented 8 months ago

Using VirtualBox 7.0.12 on Ubuntu 22.04, with RC1:

When trying to create a new snapshot, the vboxweb-service echos the following error message: 00:00:49.625848 SQW02 API method name: IMachine::TakeSnapshot 00:00:49.625855 SQW02 API return code: 0x80bb0002 (VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATE) 00:00:49.625861 SQW02 COM error info result code: 0x80bb0002 (VBOX_E_INVALID_VM_STATE) 00:00:49.625865 SQW02 COM error info text: Cannot take a live snapshot of a virtual machine unless it is running.

When I look at the request / response to take a snapshot, here is the request body: { "{\"fn\":\"snapshotTake\",\"params\":{\"vm\":\"a205117d-2e0f-4eb8-99f4-9d58263a6105\",\"name\":\"Snapshot 1\",\"description\":\"\"},\"persist\":null}": "" }

And this is the response body: {"data":{"responseData":false,"success":false,"key":"53474945cfd7ac0bf8114767c209c2a6"},"errors":[],"persist":[],"messages":[]}

I can create snapshots using the local VirtualBox UX.

I have tried creating snapshots with the VM running and stopped, and get the same result.

Of note: Restoring, deleting, other management tasks of snapshots seem to work fine. The only problem seems to be creating a new snapshot of a VM.

It does not appear that I have any general issues with my VirtualBox install or vboxweb-service -- but happy to investigate and return any info on my install. I just upgraded from VirtualBox 6.1 / phpvirtualbox, and creating snapshots was working before my upgrade.

Of possible note:

The error message in vboxweb-service is "Cannot take a live snapshot of a virtual machine unless it is running.", whether the VM is running or stopped.

I will take a look on this error, because something was changed in VBox 7.0.x. Thanks for report and your investigation.

Any news on that yet?

@ChrisTG742 sorry, I'm actually very bussy in my job, we have big project for our client. I'll take a look when I have time.

I was thinking about taking a look at this myself, but for the life of me, can not find the VirtualBox REST API docs.

Does anyone know where they can be found?

AFAIC it should be covered by this doc here: https://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/SDKRef.pdf HTH
