Failed when click "provision virtual machine" button

[cnsunfocus]

Hi, There is an error when I click the "provision" button under workload menu The error message and log detail are in the screenshot. The hypervisor provider is vcenter 6.5, and the miq version is oparin-1.1 , installed by docker. Resource sync is ok, but I can not create new vm instance. Thanks.

And the "lifecycle " button under the [Compute] [Infrastructure][Virtual Machines] is disabled

Error appears to be in the UI, @jeffibm can you take a look?

@cnsunfocus could you grab the text of the error so it is easier to see / format?

Hey @agrare , @Fryguy ,

I was testing this issue in local env and below are my findings-

https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/assets/87487049/a88ac9ed-7caf-4cc9-8ac6-436d0e5a2271

Params - When we click on the Lifecycle / Provision button,

The error appeared to be coming in from - miq_request_methods.rb#L193

the method provisioning_report returns nil as it does not satisfy the conditions in miq_request_methods.rb#L1097

both methods provisioning_is_cloud? and provisioning_is_infra? returns false from here - miq_request_methods.rb#L175

I noticed that the controller name vm_or_template is not specified in the above two methods. I am not so sure if this is the problem.

Logs below

So does that mean that we are not properly determining if this is an infra or cloud provision? Is there another type?

Hi @kbrock , I couldn't find any other type.
