How do I get all items of a content library after the changes in the version 3.0.1 to 4.0.0?

manuel-hiller-ebm commented 3 months ago

Summary

I am trying to get all content library items in the version 4.0.0 of the collection. In the further version 3.0.1 I have done this with the following task:

- name: Get all Content Library Items
  vmware.vmware_rest.content_library_item_info:
    vcenter_hostname: "hostname"
    vcenter_username: "username"
    vcenter_password: "password"
    vcenter_validate_certs: false
    library_id: 'id_of_library'
  register: vm_create_library_items
  delegate_to: localhost

But for now I am getting the following error message:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {
    "changed": false,
    "invocation": {
        "module_args": {
            "library_id": "['library_id']",
            "library_item_id": null,
            "session_timeout": null,
            "vcenter_hostname": "hostname",
            "vcenter_password": "VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER",
            "vcenter_rest_log_file": null,
            "vcenter_username": "username",
            "vcenter_validate_certs": false
        }
    },
    "value": {
        "error_type": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",
        "messages": [
            {
                "args": [
                    "library_id?library_id"
                ],
                "default_message": "Unsupported property with name: library_id?library_id.",
                "id": "com.vmware.vapi.rest.unsupportedProperty"
            }
        ]
    }
}

Could you please be so kind to provide me a documentation how this task looks like in the new version?

Hi @manuel-hiller-ebm

Are you using vSphere 8 or 7? In your output, the module arg for library ID seems to have some extra characters. Im wondering if that is from you removing sensative data or if thats in your actual output?

"module_args": {
            "library_id": "['library_id]",    # there seems to be extra brackets and a single quote

Hi @mikemorency sorry for the confusions, this happened because of trying to remove the sensitive data. I corrected this in my first post. We are using Vsphere 7.

mikemorency commented 3 months ago

@manuel-hiller-ebm version 4.X is generated using the vSphere 8 API. Some modules may not work with vSphere 7. Version 3.X is still supported (we just put out a new minor version) and was generated using the vSphere 7 API so you can still use that.

@mikemorency Ok. perfect. Thank you for your clarifications and your help.
