Creating a new site fails with "NexposeFailureException: templateID must be specified." #6
Description
Expected Behavior
A new site would be created.
Current Behavior
An error of "NexposeFailureException: templateID must be specified."
File "W:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nexpose\nexpose.py", line 1314, in SaveSiteConfiguration
return self._ExecuteSave(self.RequestSiteSave, site_configuration, 'SiteSaveResponse', 'site-id') # TODO: if this turns out to be 'id' instead of 'site-id' than remove the paramet
er from the function
File "W:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nexpose\nexpose.py", line 1143, in _ExecuteSave
response = self.VerifySuccess(save_function(object_to_save.AsXML(exclude_id=False)))
File "W:\Python27\lib\site-packages\nexpose\nexpose.py", line 1280, in VerifySuccess
raise NexposeFailureException(message)
NexposeFailureException: templateID must be specified.
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
Attempt to create a new site using "SaveSiteConfiguration".
Python code that reproduces the issue:
site_name = "Test-Site-Nexpose-" + datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%dT%H%M%z")
site_desc = "Test Site"
site_cfg = nexpose.SiteConfiguration.Create()
site_cfg.id = -1
site_cfg.name = site_name
site_cfg.description = site_desc
site_cfg.hosts.append(Host("192.168.0.100"))
session.SaveSiteConfiguration(site_cfg)Context
Attempting to dynamically add hosts to a sites that can then be scanned.

The Nexpose API requires a scan template ID to be specified in a SiteConfigSaveRequest so we should update the code here to default to
full-audit-without-webspiderto match what the Ruby gem does.santsys commentedon Jul 12, 2017
The templateId is set in the AsXML call, however it's after the XML is built (or so it appears).

Ah, yep I noticed this the other day when first looking into it.

I should be able to release the new version tomorrow as I've run into issues with the pypi service today.

Version 0.1.1 is now published on pypi (for
pip install) and the packages are also available on the github release page: https://github.com/rapid7/nexpose-client-python/releases/tag/0.1.1
