Golang NewReference Examples

Example #1

File: finder.go Project: frapposelli/govmomi

// ObjectReference converts the given ManagedObjectReference to a type from the object package via object.NewReference
// with the object.Common.InventoryPath field set.
func (f *Finder) ObjectReference(ctx context.Context, ref types.ManagedObjectReference) (object.Reference, error) {
	e, err := f.Element(ctx, ref)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	r := object.NewReference(f.client, ref)

	type common interface {
		SetInventoryPath(string)
	}

	r.(common).SetInventoryPath(e.Path)

	return r, nil
}
