Re: [Users] Unable to get latest resource status
Hi Michael, Thanks for your reply, yeah, it's not a bug, I mean whether we may support wait_for_status function in ovirt-engine-sdk like python-rhev, as I said, it will be more convenient for users. so it should be RFE.

Are you sure you are calling api.vms.get(vm_name) each time? Or are you
doing something like this:

Yeah, I put 'api.vms.get(vm_name)' in a loop body like above codes.
If you are doing that the vm information is retrieved only once, not
each time. If this is the case try something like this:
while api.vms.get(VM_NAME).status.state == suspended:
sleep(1)

Re: [Users] Unable to get latest resource status
Hi Juan,
Although I haven't try it, I think you're right, I should refresh VM
in loop body.
In addition, as I said, it will be convenient if we have wait_for_status
