Import from ESXi 6 error

HenrikSchmidt

I am trying to migrate from a quite old vmWare server 6.0.0
A few days ago I did a test over the internet (took 11hours and ended... i dont even know now.) but it copied the data atleast. that was to a testinstallation in my home from the production site.
Then I reinstalled the server wehn I was happy enought that it will work as a virtual host.

Now I try tro import from VMWare with the tool in XO, but now every time it instantly fails two tasks:

ERROR: res.headers.raw is not a function

Is this because of some simple mistake I did or because no one thought anyone was still useing Esxi 6.0.0 in the wild and I should migrate them another way?

tried 2 VMs from 2 hosts (same version of ESXi)

@olivierlambert nice catch
It's following a dependencies update, removing an old one ( node-fetch ) . The fix should be merged this morning ( with the ability to resume an import ) https://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra/pull/8440
