The check was altered in 8c48743b9737ad4d246ab6043fd299316f9a2091 and got too strict, I've no clue how that snuck in. This check makes every try to open a connection using the ESX driver fail with an invalid argument error. Revert the change to the check and add a comment to prevent future mistakes with this check. --- src/esx/esx_vi.c | 6 +++++- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/esx/esx_vi.c b/src/esx/esx_vi.c index 1c6f6ff..2359e8f 100644 --- a/src/esx/esx_vi.c +++ b/src/esx/esx_vi.c @@ -1390,7 +1390,11 @@ esxVI_BuildSelectSet(esxVI_SelectionSpec **selectSet, esxVI_SelectionSpec *selectionSpec = NULL; const char *currentSelectSetName = NULL; - if (selectSet == NULL || *selectSet != NULL) { + if (selectSet == NULL) { + /* + * Don't check for *selectSet != NULL here because selectSet is a list + * and might contain items already.
