QE files a bug: Add a second virtual disk to a VM, it comes up saying it can't be found.
This should not happen, of course. After much back and forth, the true sequence of events is:
Them: In the Finder, dive inside the VM bundle, which is a bundle for a reason. - basically, you have just aimed your gun at your foot Throw "Virtual Disk.vmdk" in the trash instead of using the "remove device" UI Open the VM. It complains that it can't find "Virtual Disk.vmdk". Hit Cancel on the dialog. - now you're saying "why yes, I do want to shoot myself in the foot!" Add a new disk through the UI. It, of course, sees that there's no file with the default name, so it creates "Virtual Disk.vmdk". You now have two virtual disks devices, both thinking they're going to use the same file. Power on the VM. One of the two devices gets that file, the other one complains that it can't be found.
Me: Close bug as "user error". Complain to manager that QE should not be filing bugs that get closed as "user error"
