Hi,

I'm trying to launch a scan and getting below error.

>>> from openvas_lib import VulnscanManager, VulnscanException
>>> scanner = VulnscanManager("192.168.0.14", "admin", "admin")
>>> scan_id, target_id = scanner.launch_scan(target='192.168.0.14', profile='Full and fast')
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "openvas_lib/ompv7.py", line 715, in create_task
    return self._manager.make_xml_request(request, xml_result=True).get("id")

Hi @MarioVilas

Is it possible to update https://pypi.org/project/openvas_lib/ too?

Thanks.

[MarioVilas]

I don't have access to it. /cc @cr0hn

I just added continuous integration cycle with auto-upload to Pypi the new pull-request.

It was uploaded to Pypi with version: 1.1.3.

Please, test it and feedback if something was wrong.

Thx!

Hi @cr0hn,

I've verified and it has not been updated. I think you should upload with the newer version as 1.1.3 already there.

Thanks.

[cr0hn]

Ups, sorry. Just submitted version 1.1.4

[anandtiwarics]

Hi,

version 1.1.4 uploaded but something broken after installing using pip.

>>> from openvas_lib import VulnscanManager, VulnscanException
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named openvas_lib

may its not able to map with sit-packages. Could you please review from your end why its not able to import openvas_lib ?

Thanks.

@cr0hn ,

Got the issue. Package missing openvas_lib folder https://pypi.org/project/openvas_lib/1.1.4/#files

Please upload with the openvas_lib folder in the package.

[cr0hn]

I just fixed the issue. I was an error in the setup. In my machine now I can import the library. Please, check and feedback me

[anandtiwarics]

Perfect. Work like a charm. Thanks @cr0hn
