From: Peter Krempa <pkrempa(a)redhat.com&gt; The generated code which parses the data from XML in esxVI_LookupDatastoreContentByDatastoreName can fill the 'folderPath' property with NULL if it were missing from the input XML. While this is not likely when talking to esx it is a possible outcome. Skipp NULL results. All other code paths already ensure that the function is not called with NULL.
