Try this: -> { "execute": "device-list-properties", "arguments": { "typename": "accel" } } <- {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Parameter 'name' expects device"}} Type "accel" exists, but it's not a subtype of TYPE_DEVICE. Perhaps: qmp: Fix argument name in error message of device-list-properties The argument is called "typename", not "name". >> qmp.c | 2 +- >> 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/qmp.c b/qmp.c >> index 0028f0b..812db6c 100644 >> --- a/qmp.c >> +++ b/qmp.c >> @@ -531,7 +531,7 @@ DevicePropertyInfoList *qmp_device_list_properties(const >> char *typename, >> >> klass = object_class_dynamic_cast(klass, TYPE_DEVICE); >> if (klass == NULL) { >> - error_setg(errp, QERR_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE, "name", TYPE_DEVICE); >> + error_setg(errp, QERR_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE, "typename", >> TYPE_DEVICE); >> return NULL; >> } Incomplete, the next one needs the same change: if (object_class_is_abstract(klass)) { error_setg(errp, QERR_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE, "name", "non-abstract device type"); return NULL; } Reproducer: -> { "execute": "device-list-properties", "arguments": { "typename": "pci-qxl" } } <- {"error": {"class": "GenericError", "desc": "Parameter 'name' expects non-abstract device type"}} Please fix this one, too.
