<AEMethod release_ip_address> Can not handle vmdb_object_type: vm_retire_task

[sigbjornaib]

An error occurs when attempting to retire vms. The error occur in https://github.com/RedHatOfficial/miq-Utilities/blob/master/Automate/RedHatConsulting_Utilities/Infrastructure/Network/Operations/Methods.class/__methods__/release_ip_address.rb

Line 98 logs the vmdb_object_type to be vm_retire_task. The case statement in line 99 does not have an option for vm_retire_task, and default to the error in the else statement at line 141, causing the retirement of the vm to fail.

Se below for log output from automation.log.

/ Infrastructure / Network / Operations / Methods / release_ip_address:
Line 99: case $evm.root['vmdb_object_type']: is missing an option for 'vm_retire_task'

/ StdLib / Core / Core:
Line 232: case @handle.root['vmdb_object_type']: is missing an option for 'vm_retire_task'

I made an attempt at creating a "when 'automation_task'" for release_ip_address, however the next thing that failed was the Core method.

Is this perhaps a new vmdb_object_type for CFME 5.10 which needs updating in other methods I haven't discovered yet as well?

@sigbjornaib I apologize I am swamped both professionally and personally at the moment.

@curt-matthews or @A-Beck either of you have some bandwidth to read this over and lend a hand to @sigbjornaib who is using this code across the pound.
