Problem:
I’m trying to provision a VM via API with foreman-xen. I tried v0.6.1 and v0.7.0 of foreman-xen. But it always fails with: undefined method `name’ for nil:NilClass
The line of code seems to be:
logger.info "create_vm_from_builtin: host : #{host.name}"
Is this an issue with the parameters that I use to call the API with?
Expected outcome:
A VM is created.
