Failed to find attribute videoCaptureFile

[amazpyel]

I tried to run example of capturing video (https://gist.github.com/mjdorma/9045317) and got the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "capture_video.py", line 13, in <module>
    session.machine.video_capture_file = os.path.abspath("test.webm")
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyvbox-0.2.2-py2.7.egg/virtualbox/library.py", line 9049, in video_capture_file
    return self._set_attr("videoCaptureFile", value)

AttributeError: Failed to find attribute videoCaptureFile in Windows 7

I just renamed win7 to Windows 7 .

Hi,

Maybe this attribute didn't exist in VirtualBox 4.1? The API was generated against the last 4.3x release.

You have just reminded me that I need to start moving to get 5.x API compatibility (this will be a compatibility breaking change).

Thanks, Mick

Hi @mjdorma,

Virtual Box updated (Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager 4.3.30 ) and video capturing feature appeared from Virtual Box UI controls but same error is still present. :(

Thank you, Alex

Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out. I just had a look and I think this commit solves your issue. If you patched this over your current install does it resolve your issue? 3188c7472470b64a70d69bc44b186068c0ed59c1

If it does I might backport it from this 1.0.0 branch to a 0.2.3 release.

Cheers

I just cherry picked that 1.0.0 commit back to master. Hopefully that will resolve your issue.

Thank you, Mick!

It works as expected.
