[giriatgit]

Describe the bug

The sample given at https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python/tree/v8.0.0.1

import requests import urllib3 from vmware.vapi.vsphere.client import create_vsphere_client session = requests.session()

Disable cert verification for demo purpose.

This is not recommended in a production environment.

session.verify = False

Disable the secure connection warning for demo purpose.

This is not recommended in a production environment.

urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

Connect to a vCenter Server using username and password

vsphere_client = create_vsphere_client(server='', username='', password='', session=session)

List all VMs inside the vCenter Server

vsphere_client.vcenter.VM.list()

This code doesn't return the list of VMs even hough I have 2 vms created in vCenter/ESXi.

The output is just blank..

(vCenterDemo) (base) $ python vCClient.py (vCenterDemo) (base) $

Reproduction steps

1. 2. 3. ...

Expected behavior

List of VMs in the vCenter

Additional context

No response

How to enable logs in this code so that we understand whats happening behind the REST APIs? I tired following but still no logs or output.

import logging

logging.getLogger("requests").setLevel(logging.DEBUG) logging.getLogger('urllib3').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

Please try this (replace values in placeholders for IP, Username and Password):

import requests
import urllib3
from vmware.vapi.vsphere.client import create_vsphere_client
session = requests.session()

# Disable cert verification for demo purpose.
# This is not recommended in a production environment.
session.verify = False

# Disable the secure connection warning for demo purpose.
# This is not recommended in a production environment.
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)

# Connect to a vCenter Server using username and password
vsphere_client = create_vsphere_client(server='<vc_ip>', username='<vc_username>', password='<vc_password>', session=session)

# List all VMs inside the vCenter Server
list_of_vms = vsphere_client.vcenter.VM.list()

print("List Of VMs")
print("----------------------------")
print(list_of_vms)
print("----------------------------")

Nevermind. Got the output.
