VCloud Rest API with ruby


Hi


I am new to vcloud rest api. I am currently trying to add a network to a VM in vcloud director.


I am using vcloud-rest ruby gem (https://github.com/astratto/vcloud-rest)


While adding a network it gives me the following error:


/usr/local/share/gems/gems/vcloud-rest-1.3.0/lib/vcloud-rest/connection.rb:233:in `humanize_badrequest': BadRequest - unhandled error: Bad request  - Unexpected JAXB Exception  - cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'NetworkConnection'. One of '{"http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5":Link, WC[##other:"http://www.vmware.com/vcloud/v1.5"]}' is expected.. (VCloudClient::UnhandledError)
Please report this issue.
    from /usr/local/share/gems/gems/vcloud-rest-1.3.0/lib/vcloud-rest/connection.rb:177:in `rescue in send_request'
    from /usr/local/share/gems/gems/vcloud-rest-1.3.0/lib/vcloud-rest/connection.rb:163:in `send_request'

    from add_network.rb:20:in `block in <main>'
    from add_network.rb:19:in `each'
    from add_network.rb:19:in `<main>'


 


My Payload looks like this:

HI,

Your XML-body doesn't seem to be correct. Try sample from VMware docs with minimum changes.
