upload plugin API : Content Length is Invalid

[sweetpeaito]

Describe the bug
I run vcd 9.1 in my environment , i am using vcd 9.1 plugin seed vcd-ext-samples-plugin-seed-9.1 link : https://github.com/vmware-samples/vcd-ext-samples/tree/plugin-seed-9.1

upon upload of the plugin , i get content length is invalid error via POSTMAN

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. create a session for sys admin user : i created a session and obtained the x-vcloud-authorization token
   2.register the plugin, providing the same values as in the manifest.json : i provided the values of the
   {
   "urn": "vmware:vcloud:plugin:seed",
   "name": "Simple plugin",
   "containerVersion": "9.1.0",
   "version": "1.0.0",
   "scope": ["service-provider", "tenant"],
   "permissions": [],
   "description": "An example plugin.",
   "vendor": "VMware",

   "link": "http://www.vmware.com/support",
   "module": "SimplePluginModule",
   "route": "plugin"
   }

3.enable upload on the newly registered plugin (endpoint is in the Location header of
previous response) :
--data '{"fileName": "plugin.zip", "size": 56623}'
I passed the same value in the sample 56623 as file size

4. Upload plugin.zip to vCloud Director : I use the link response of the enable upload API result header as my URL
   Expected behavior
   I expected to receive a 200 ok , upload successful

I passed the same value in the sample 56623 as file size

you need to use the actual size of the file (in bytes) that you are uploading. The sample number is just that–a sample.

Good morning , Thank you for your response . Do i need to un register the plugin and start the process again ? kip kool On Tuesday, July 30, 2019, 02:11:34 PM GMT+1, Jeff Moroski <notifications@github.com> wrote: I passed the same value in the sample 56623 as file size you need to use the actual size of the file (in bytes) that you are uploading.

Yes
The Python scripts give a better experience for managing plugins vs. the pure manual API method if you are interested: https://github.com/vmware-samples/vcd-ext-samples/tree/plugin-manager

I have this already installed , i have ran the script with the list parameter but the unregister returns an error 500. kip kool On Wednesday, July 31, 2019, 12:39:01 PM GMT+1, Jeff Moroski <notifications@github.com> wrote: Do i need to un register the plugin and start the process again ?

what are you specifying to make the unregister call?

[sweetpeaito]

The value you specify should be the entire URN returned for the id field in the list command, not just the UUID part

Good day Jeff, Please i would like to ask a question about vCD. When an SDDC is created , is there a way to assign an end date to how long the SDDC should be valid for ?  I am trying to create an automated process where the SDDC should be disabled when the end date is reached . Alternatively , I want to build a custom service where the activation and end date can be logged into a custom database and then apply the logic for checking the end date myself . before i do this , i would like to know if vCD has such features or if there is an API to call for this .
