From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange@redhat.com> Currently if you try to connect to a local libvirtd when libvirtd is not in $PATH, you'll get an error error: internal error invalid use of command API This is because remoteFindDaemonPath() returns NULL, which causes us to pass NULL into virNetSocketConnectUNIX which in turn causes us to pass NULL into virCommandNewArgList. Adding missing error checks improves this to error: internal error Unable to locate libvirtd daemon in $PATH * src/remote/remote_driver.c: Report error if libvirtd cannot be found * src/rpc/virnetsocket.c: Report error if caller requested spawning of daemon, but provided no binary path --- src/remote/remote_driver.c | 8 +++++++- src/rpc/virnetsocket.c | 6 ++++++ 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/remote/remote_driver.c b/src/remote/remote_driver.c index 1fb0eca..755275a 100644 --- a/src/remote/remote_driver.c +++ b/src/remote/remote_driver.c @@ -321,6 +321,7 @@ doRemoteOpen (virConnectPtr conn, trans_ext, trans_tcp, } transport; + const char *daemonPath; /* We handle *ALL* URIs here.
