VMware Tools has to be running in the virtual machine for the command to work.
After VM power on, it takes some time for GOS and VMware Tools daemon to start. After tools daemon starts, it may take another 30 seconds to report guest IP address.
If the problem persists, we need to check vmware.log to see if the tools is running or GOS has hung or else.
Describe the bug
The
vmrun getGuestIPAddress
command does not work when VM is started in headless mode as previously reported.Reproduction steps
vmrun -T fusion start "path/to/MyVMs.vmx" nogui
vmrun -T fusion getGuestIPAddress "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
Error: The VMware Tools are not running in the virtual machine
vmrun -T fusion checkToolsState "path/to/MyVMs.vmx"
installed
Expected behavior
Return IP address regardless of gui/nogui mode
Additional context

vmrun getGuestIPAddress -wait
