Unable to specify nicSettingMap

[johnhenriksson]

I'm unable to set the property nicSettingMap in the customization_spec. More info here http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp#com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc/vim.vm.customization.Specification.html#field_detail

I get this error message,

/Users/john/.rbenv/versions/2.3.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.3.0/gems/fog-vsphere-1.5.1/lib/fog/vsphere/requests/compute/vm_clone.rb:455:in vm_clone': undefined methodkey?' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)

Thanks for reporting this! It's a national holiday in the US, so I may not get to this for a few days. I'll certainly take a look as soon as I can. Thanks again for reporting this!

Can I see what you are passing into vm_clone for nicSettingMap? nicSettingMap expects an Array, but it looks like you may be passing something else?

@johnhenriksson Hey, I haven't heard back from you. I was curious if you're still having this issue. If so, can you send a copy (scrubbed if necessary) of what you are passing in?

Thanks for the response, I've been busy and unable to respond.

Here's my script and with this I get the error message fault.NicSettingMismatch.summary

Thanks! I'll take a look at this today and see what I can find!

@johnhenriksson Based on

require 'rubygems'
require 'fog'

I'm curious what version of fog/fog-vsphere you are using. Can you show me the output of gem list fog?

[johnhenriksson]

Here's the output :)

I'm still looking into this, but I'm having trouble recreating it with the code provided. Updating just to let you know I haven't dropped this.
