Description

Hello everyone
I tried to connect volatility as a library to my script using the pslist plugin
I do everything according to the instructions, but I can't connect the parameters to the plugin, the check for unsatisfied does not pass, please tell me what is wrong.

framework.require_interface_version(1,0,2)
ctx = contexts.Context()

failures = framework.import_files(plugins, True)
plugin_list = framework.list_plugins()

ctx.config['automagic.LayerStacker.PsList.single_location'] = 'file:///OtterCTF.vmem'
config_path = path_join('plugins','windows.pslist.PsList','nt_symbols.class')
ctx.config['plugins.windows.pslist.PsList.nt_symbols.class'] = 'volatility3.framework.symbols.windows.WindowsKernelIntermedSymbols'
config_path = path_join('plugins','windows.pslist.PsList','nt_symbols.isf_url')
ctx.config['plugins.windows.pslist.PsList.nt_symbols.isf_url'] = 'file:///123.json'

unsatisfied = pslist.PsList.unsatisfied(ctx, 'plugins.windows.pslist.PsList')

available = automagic.available(ctx)
automagics = automagic.choose_automagic(available,pslist.PsList)
errors = automagic.run(automagics, ctx, pslist.PsList, 'plugins.windows.pslist.PsList')

print(unsatisfied)

Checking for unsatisfied returns the following
{'plugins.windows.pslist.PsList.primary': <TranslationLayerRequirement: primary>, 'plugins.windows.pslist.PsList.nt_symbols': <SymbolTableRequirement: nt_symbols>}

Research direction

Start by reproducing the snippet with volatility3's framework, pslist.PsList.unsatisfied, and the automagic selection and run calls. Read the requirement handling around the primary and nt_symbols entries; done means the issue explains or supports supplying those requirements without automagic, with the unsatisfied result resolved.
