vapp is not updating existing guest properties of the VM or VAPP

[devendrapratapsingh]

I was working on a solution to dynamic create the VM, VAPP etc using pyvcloud API. But I had issue to update the guest properties(Product section) in the VM.

When I looked into the code of vdc/vapp.py for the method of update_product_section then I found the issue that after getting the existing key , itwas removed rather to update that property.

In my project, I have written a new method function to handle the scenario. Problematic code: properties = product_section.xpath('ovf:Property', namespaces=NSMAP) for prop in properties: id = prop.get('{' + NSMAP['ovf'] + '}key') if key == id: **prop.getparent().remove(prop)** product_section.append(property) is_updated = True break

Correct code:

` properties = product_section.xpath("ovf:Property", namespaces=NSMAP) if properties: prop = self.find_key(properties, key) if prop is not None: prop.set("{" + NSMAP["ovf"] + "}value", str(value)) prop.Value.set("{" + NSMAP["ovf"] + "}value", str(value))

A utility function: def find_key(self, properties, key): for prop in properties: id = prop.get("{" + NSMAP["ovf"] + "}key") if key == id: return prop return`
