Running Fusion and macOS with the latest updates and vmrun is broken for me. Before I could perform vmrun list and get a list of running VMs. Now it outputs the following
~ $ vmrun list
Total running VMs: 0
Other vmrun commands work such as vmrun listHostNetworks:
~ $ vmrun listHostNetworks
Total host networks: 3
INDEX NAME TYPE DHCP SUBNET MASK
0 vmnet0 bridged false empty empty
1 vmnet1 hostOnly true 172.16.91.0 255.255.255.0
8 vmnet8 nat true 192.168.234.0 255.255.255.0
I can check the status of installed guest tools however I can't get my guest's IP address. This is annoying. Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi bmorgenthaler ,
Could you check if your VM is running via Fusion UI?

What's the output of 'vmrun checkToolsState /path/to/vmx'?
I can check through the GUI but that doesn't help with automation tools.
vmrun checkToolsState properly runs and returns "Installed" for those machines with the tools installed

Did you start your VM using "vmrun stat '/path/to/vmx' nogui" when you get output saying 'installed' ?
I guess it is because there is actually no VM running. vmrun list prints the VMX file absolute path of the any VMs that have been powered on -and- running.
Hi Williamz,
Please reread TS his second sentence "Before I could perform vmrun list and get a list of running VMs" ... so yes he or she knows that already.
