[jira] [Commented] (VCL-1078) Undefined subroutine error because vSphere_SDK.pm does not implement append_text_file

["Josh Thompson (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-1078?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17112324#comment-17112324 ] 

Josh Thompson commented on VCL-1078:
------------------------------------

Lines 950 and 951 of VMware.pm in version 2.5.1 can be commented out to allow vSphere_SDK.pm to work successfully. Ideally, adding an if conditional before the lines checking to see if the vmhost_os object can append text files would be best.

> VMware.pm::capture is calling $self->vmhost_os->append_text_file. When SSH isn't available, $self->vmhost_os is an instance of vSphere_SDK.pm. This module does not implement an append_text_file subroutine.
> It may not be possible or worthwhile to implement such a subroutine in vSphere_SDK.pm as I think the file would need to be retrieved, appended, then copied back. Instead, a $self->vmhost_os->can('append_text_file') should be added to the caller.
