Description Jincheng Miao 2014-05-15 01:55:48 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1097968 +++

Description:
baselineCPU doesn't generate exception.

How reproducible:
100%

Version:
libvirt-python-1.1.1-29.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1.
# python
>>> import libvirt
>>> con=libvirt.open(None)
>>> con.baselineCPU([], 0)
libvirt:  error : xmlCPUs in virConnectBaselineCPU must not be NULL
-1
>>> ret = con.baselineCPU([], 0)
libvirt:  error : xmlCPUs in virConnectBaselineCPU must not be NULL
>>> print ret
-1

Expected results:
when the input is invalid, baselineCPU should generate an exception.

Comment 3 Xuesong Zhang 2014-05-26 09:24:08 UTC

Verify this bug with libvirt-0.10.2-37.el6.x86_64, get the exception while parse one invalid parameter to baselineCPU API. So, this bug is fixed, change the bug status to verified.
