capture_image for VirtualServer does not work

[huskercane]

Here is the sample code that I am using

!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'softlayer_api'
require 'pp'

softlayer_client = SoftLayer::Client.new()

server = SoftLayer::VirtualServer.server_with_id('5508708', client: softlayer_client)

puts server.inspect

server.capture_image('master_image', true, 'master_image_note')

Here is the output that I see
home/rohits/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.1/lib/ruby/2.1.0/xmlrpc/create.rb:202:in conv2value': Wrong type NilClass. Not allowed! (RuntimeError) from /home/rohits/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.1.1/lib/ruby/2.1.0/xmlrpc/create.rb:118:inblock in methodCall'

It does work if I do this

require 'softlayer_api'
require 'pp'

softlayer_client = SoftLayer::Client.new()

virtual_guest_service = SoftLayer::Service.new("SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest")

CAUTION - hardcoding server id here

server = virtual_guest_service.object_with_id("5508708")
block_devices = server.getBlockDevices

puts server.inspect

img1 = server.createArchiveTransaction("master-image",
[{"id" => block_devices[0]['id']}], "master-image")
puts img1.inspect

Thank you. I will see what I can do with this. If possible, I will include a fix in the 2.2.0 release which is (currently) scheduled for Monday.

If you have the chance, could you please check the 2.2.0 branch:

https://github.com/softlayer/softlayer-ruby/tree/Version_2.2.0

and see if that fixes the issue for you?
