I noticed that the latest fling has advised against this practice.

I had planned to use the GlobalView example to store a file with global plugin settings such as host address of an external server for use by the Data Provider Adapter.  I would prefer this to be persistent in vsphere instead of leaving it to a setting in browser storage. Do you have any other sugestions for saving plugin settings?

Does search work on ResourcePool? I've tried following search but it only works for vm, datastores, datacenter...

ManagedObjectReference pool = _vimPort.findByInventoryPath(serviceContent.getSearchIndex(),        dataCenterName + "/" + resourcePool);

I would like to be able to use a single action for both virtual machines objects and virtual machine template objects since they will be in mutually exclusive menus. I can see how this was done for the vsphere.core.vm.actions.rename action:

<!-- Rename -->

   <extension id="vsphere.core.vm.actions.rename">

      <extendedPoint>vise.actions.specs</extendedPoint>

      <object>

         <label>#{actionRenameVMLabel}</label>

         <description>#{actionRenameVMDescription}</description>

         <requiredPrivileges>VirtualMachine.Config.Rename</requiredPrivileges>

         <operationIds>Rename_Task</operationIds>

         <invoker>vsphere.core.vm.actions.rename</invoker>

      </object>

      <metadata>

         <objectType>VirtualMachine</objectType>

      </metadata>

   </extension>

but vise.actions.spec is not a supported extension point.

When I use the same actionUid in both vm and vm template menus it works well in the Flex client (except for disabling an action) but there are id conflicts in the html client.

My question is if the current 6.5 html client behavior is a bug or will same actionUid be allowed in mutual exclusive menus?

Attached is a modified plugin.xml from the 6.5 vsphere-wssdk-html sample to demonstrate the problem. I modified the actions to have two of the four actions available for vm templates. Notice that the two actions in the vm template menu so not show up in the menu for the vm even though they are defined.

Thanks for the help,

Hi,

I use this function on my flex plugin before and run it in flex client, It work well.

But now, I start to develop html5 plugin by using using html client SDK6.5. I encounter some problems.

When I add following paragraph in plugin.xml of HTML5 plugin same with my flex-plugin and run it in HTML client , it not work. 

<metadata> 

<privilege>Company.View</privilege> 

</metadata> 

The plugin's name was always existing on the vsphere client,

even if the user doesn't have Company.View privilege. (It should auto-hide like my flex-plugin running in flex client)

Does it can fix in HTML5 plugin?

Thanks

Hi,

We are in the process of migrating our HTML content that is in the Flex web client over to the HTML web client.  We are currently running into an issue where the content in the dialog is showing up with scroll bars due to our dialog having a height of 500px.  In the Flex plugin we are not seeing these scrollbars.  It seems that the HTML Modal dialogs are not being created large enough to hold the content even though there is enough area available within the page. 

While our content is able to be responsively resized unfortunately the iFrame that they are being rendered in within '.modal-body' is fixed at the size that was specified.  Is there any guidance on how HTML content should be laid out in the modal dialogs to allow the content to resize without getting the scroll bars.  It seems the desired behavior would to allow developers to responsively layout the dialog content by adjusting the iFrame they are running in.

Thanks,

Don

Hi plug-in developers,
As many of you know, the Flex log level can be set to DEBUG to generate extensive logs. This option will be helpful while developing and debuging hard problems in Flex plugins.

For example:
You can modify the chassis-ui/war/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/flex/services-config.xml to say <target class="flex.messaging.log.ConsoleTarget" level="Debug">

It is strongly prohibited to use this option in production.
The log level will not only create huge logs but also will show serialized data and with that exposed sensitive information like passwords in plain text.

Thanks,
Ina

Hi,

I have developed a vsphere plugin using VSphere 6.5 and ESXI 6.5, I have used STS to develop the plugin.

I could see my plugin completely functional in my development setup, where as when i try to deploy the plugin in Production environment, No icon is visible in the Dashboard.

Even when i try to deploy "chassisRackVSphere" plugin from the sample sdk, i am facing the same problem.

Kindly let me know the exact path where i need to place my plugin folder.

Thanking You in Advance

HTML plugin-seed 0.9.5 is available at https://labs.vmware.com/flings/vsphere-html5-web-client (download plugin-seed-0.9.5.zip)

Highlights:
- Upgraded to Angular 4 and Angular-CLI 1.0 that were just released in March. You should notice better performance!
- Upgraded to Typescript 2.2.2
- Clarity package updated to 0.9.0. 

Be sure to read H5-plugin-seed-change-log.pdf for details on how to update your own project.  You can also start from a fresh plugin created with 0.9.5 and move your existing components.

(continued from Re: HTML plugin-seed 0.9.5 is available, upgraded to Angular 4, CLI 1.0 and Clarity 0.9.0)

Hi, I'm trying to build this environment using my Mac development environment.

I've followed the instructions to install, and have used all defaults to create the "myplugin" plugin.

The json server starts correctly, as expected:

MacBook-Pro-10:myplugin-ui wodge$ json-server --watch db.json --static ./src/webapp

  \{^_^}/ hi!

  Loading db.json

  Done

  Resources

  http://localhost:3000/echos

  http://localhost:3000/hosts

  Home

  http://localhost:3000

  Type s + enter at any time to create a snapshot of the database

  Watching...

However, when I attempt to compile I get:

MacBook-Pro-10:myplugin-ui wodge$ npm start

> myplugin@0.9.2 start /Users/wodge/runecast/WebClientPlugin/WebClientPlugin-Resources/plugin-seed-0.9.5/tools/myplugin-ui

webpack: Failed to compile.

Could you please advise how to resolve this issue?

N.B. I have also built the environment using a Windows OS, and have the same issue.

I've enclosed the "npm list" output with this post.

Many thanks

CONTEXT:

I have generated a plugin using the instructions in "HTML Client Plugin Seed v0.9.5" document, using command:

./plugin-seed/tools/generate-plugin.sh

(plugin name is "rcplugin")

This builds successfully. I have deployed the plugin package to the local Virgo server by copying the rcplugin-ui/target/rcplugin directory to $VSPHERE_SDK_HOME/vsphere-ui/plugin-packages, and restarted the Virgo server:

sh $VSPHERE_SDK_HOME/vsphere-ui/server/bin/startup.sh -debug

The server starts successfully, and I can access the local Virgo server from https://localhost:9443 with live VC data.

The plugin starts from "npm start":

The json server starts as expected:

I am able to access the plugin elements against mock data, as expected from http://localhost:4201 

ISSUE 1:

However, if I attempt to use live data (working against my local Virgo server) then I get a message "No hosts found":

I thought the "no hosts found" issue may be due to not setting the "client ID" in the settings for the seed-plugin, in the "Live Data setup". I have tried to set the client ID:

However this is not possible, as the plugin settings view does not show me the Client ID in the local vSphere client:

How do I provide the Client ID if I can't get it from the vSphere client? Is there some other way of getting it?

ISSUE 2:

Also - When viewing the monitor or Configure tab for a host from https://localhost:9443, no data is shown for the rcplugin:

Could these issues be interrelated?

Hi laurentsd, we met a serious problem if we tried to get service content using vim25 in Java service when developing our plugin in vSphere HTML5 client(html-client-sdk: 5097204), the following screenshot is where we catch the exception in our code:

and the error messages are like this in vsphere_client_virgo.log:

We have no workarounds for this issue, and don't know what is the root cause for it. Can you give us any suggestions or comments for this problem?

And we provide our sample code based on plugin-seed-0.9.5(The upload sample-seed.zip attachment, contains source code, and a folder covered each .war and .jar package), can you help us check this issue?

If you deploy our plugin package in virgo server, and refer to the following screenshots to reproduce the problem:

I tried to deploy our product in vCenter v6.5 via ova, however, deploy failed with error reported in wizard, saying "PARSE_ERROR: Parse error: Unexpected character 'v' (code 118) in prolog, expected '<' at [row,col,system-id]: [1,1,"descriptor.ovf"]."

It seems that there is something not parsed in the ovf descriptor prolog, what is it exactly? I copied part of my ovf file below:

I'm diagnosing an issue in an Enhanced Linked Mode environment running 6.0 update 1 (2 vCenters, same domain) where I'm getting the following exception when calling UserSessionService.getUserSession():

Does anyone have any pointers on diagnosing this?  I could not find much information about this error in the SDK docs.  Thank you

hi everyone,

Please check out this new tool called "HTML Client Plugin Seed" to help you make the transition to HTML plugins:

• It is based on HTML SDK 6.5, so the generated plugin is compatible with both HTML Client 6.5 and Flex Client 6.0 or 6.5.
• The UI is 100% based on the Clarity Design System, a VMware open-source project.
• It uses the Angular 2+ framework and the Typescript language which have become industry standard for modern web applications.
• It comes with utilities and development tools that will speed up your development cycles, help you start with a good architecture and show you many best practices and patterns.

I look forward to your feedback!

(Check out the small survey at the very end of the PDF doc)

Apologies in advance for the newbie question....

I'm confused because I've set up a Mac environment previously to work with the webclient SDK without this issue.

I'm using a new Mac install (Sierra), and have followed the instructions for installing the SDK.

At the section "Register Your Local vSphere Client with the vCenter Server Instance" (pg. 33), When attempting to copy the generated VCSA files to my local directory, I can't find the '/var/lib/vmware/' directory on my machine... It doesn't exist.

Could someone please advise when this directory is created during the setup process?

Many thanks :)

I'm trying to add a portlet to HostSystem that only appears if there is a relationship to one of my custom objects. However, I can't find a way to achieve this. I tried various syntaxes to add a relational constraint in "plugin.xml" but this failed to work, including one from an old post here.

I tried this on a modified "chassis-b" sample (where only the first host is assigned to a chassis, to make it easy to tell that the portlet only appears on hosts with chassis).

      <metadata>

        <propertyConditions>

          <com.vmware.data.query.CompositeConstraint>

            <nestedConstraints>

              <com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>

                <propertyName>chassis</propertyName>

                <comparator>EQUALS</comparator>

                <comparableValue>

                 <Boolean>false</Boolean>

                </comparableValue>

              </com.vmware.data.query.PropertyConstraint>

            </nestedConstraints>

            <conjoiner>AND</conjoiner>

          </com.vmware.data.query.CompositeConstraint>

        </propertyConditions>

      </metadata>

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

HI all,

I have a HTML plugin with custom java service. The HTML plugin is able to properly access the REST end-point exposed by my custom java service.

There are couple of intialization operations that I need to perform when my plugin is loaded. Is there a way to run an initialization method when a custom java service is loaded?

Thanks!

Hi,

For Web Client 6.0 we performed GUI Automation using the provided solution.

vsphere-webclient-automation-6.0.0-beta.zip - Google Drive

This solution doesn't seem to support Web Client version 6.5.

Is there an existing solution we can obtain or one being worked on which can support 6.5?

Or is there possible a contact who can assist in the matter?

Thanks

Tim
