Description
Hi,
I have a issue with this function, it seems there is a problem while parsing argument.
I have the following code :
..
print type(datacenter)
file_manager.MakeDirectory("[datastore1]/myvm/", datacenter)
...
Here the error and ouput :
<class 'pyVmomi.VmomiSupport.vim.Datacenter'>
File "myapp/vmware/vim.py", line 109, in manage_volumes
file_manager.MakeDirectory("[datastore1]/myvm/", datacenter)
File "/myapp/.venv/fabenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyVmomi/VmomiSupport.py", line 560, in __call__
return self.f(*args, **kwargs)
File "/myapp/.venv/fabenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyVmomi/VmomiSupport.py", line 374, in _InvokeMethod
map(CheckField, info.params, args)
File "/myapp/.venv/fabenv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyVmomi/VmomiSupport.py", line 949, in CheckField
% (info.name, info.type.__name__, valType.__name__))
TypeError: For "name" expected type str, but got vim.Datacenter

Start by checking the MakeDirectory invocation and the argument validation path shown in pyVmomi/VmomiSupport.py, especially _InvokeMethod and CheckField.
