I think the old/new error messages can be included directly in the commit
message. Anyway, I wonder if we should take this as an opportunity to fix the
"internal error", however I'm not sure what is the best code to use. It seems
we use OPERATION_INVALID in such cases, which could be good enough.
No, OPERATION_INVALID is for scenarios where the API request cannot
be performed because the object is in the wrong state.
eg when you request to pause a VM that is shutoff.
This is a case where the data we receive back from QEMU is incorrect.
I don't think we have a current error code that is suitable for this
kind of scenario, so we ought to invent a new one.
Some ideas
MISSING_DATA
DATA_INVALID
UNEXPECTED_DATA
...insert others...
my favour is probably DATA_INVALID
The data is actually correct, just the fields required for this functionality
are missing because QEMU is too old to support them. Perhaps
OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED (which doesn't currently exist either) could be the
right choice.
We do have a VIR_ERR_NO_SUPPORT, but its probably wise to restrict that
to only the case where the public API is not provided by the current
driver. So agree that a new OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED would be reasonable
Daniel
I've pushed this patch and I'll follow up with a separate one adding
VIR_ERR_OPERATION_UNSUPPORTED and changing the error message type in
that particular case.
