Trying to setup the teamcity vmware plugin and using it to launch a mac os agent, I get this error in the agent log file - [2017-05-09 15:59:55,356] INFO - .vmware.VMWarePropertiesReader - Unable to locate vmware-rpctool. Looks like not a VMWare VM or VWWare tools are not installed

Looking in the plugins code I see that it looks for the vmware-rpctool util in /usr/sbin. I've installed vmware tools 10.1.5 manually by downloading them from vmwares website and copying them into the guest machine. They were installed in /Library/Application Support/VMWare Tools and the file vmware-rpctool is nowhere to be found there.

I'm trying to understand if this is some error in the plugin or perhaps I've installed vmware-tools the wrong way. Is there a "correct" way to install vmware tools that would create vmware-rpctool in the library the plugin is looking at?

  • Are you sure this teamcity plugin supports OSX? what kind of Mac are you running ESXi on? – Chopper3 May 10 '17 at 10:11
  • As to your fisrt question - I'm sure since the plugin takes mac into account in the code I've linked to, but it does seem the support is a bit flaky. – Yaron Idan May 10 '17 at 10:15
  • Had to check to get the answer to your second question - `Apple Inc. Xserve3,1` – Yaron Idan May 10 '17 at 11:30
