This is perfectly valid in VMWare and the VM just boots with an empty drive. We used to just skip the whole drive before, but since we changed how we parse empty cdrom drives this now results in an error and the user not being able to even dump the XML. Instead of erroring out, just keep the drive empty. Resolves: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1903953 v2: - Do not report and reset an error, but handle it more nicely. v1: - https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2020-December/msg00840.html Martin Kletzander (5): esx: Unindent unnecessary conditional branch tests: Use g_autofree in testParseVMXFileName vmx: Make virVMXParseFileName return an integer vmx: Allow missing cdrom image file in virVMXParseFileName vmx: Treat missing cdrom-image as empty drive src/esx/esx_driver.c | 160 ++++++++++-------- src/vmware/vmware_conf.c | 10 +- src/vmx/vmx.c | 25 +-- src/vmx/vmx.h | 5 +- .../vmx2xmldata/vmx2xml-cdrom-ide-missing.vmx | 6 + tests/vmx2xmltest.c | 36 ++-- 6 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 106 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/vmx2xmldata/vmx2xml-cdrom-ide-missing.vmx -- 2.29.2
