`ecloud vm list` incorrectly returns no value for certain keys

[miff2000]

What is the issue?

I'm unsure why this is, but when I do a ukfast ecloud vm list -o json | jq command, these fields are blank:

• power_status
• tools_status
• hdd_disks

When I run the ukfast ecloud vm show <SID> -o json | jq for the server, I see the values are present

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

1. Run ukfast ecloud vm list -o json | jq
2. Check out the power_status, tools_status and hdd_disks values for the first entry
3. Run ukfast ecloud vm show <SID> -o json | jq using the SID for the first entry
4. Check the difference.

Expected behaviour

Same values should be returned in both cases, even if the keys should differ between the two

Possible fixes

This is an API-side limitation - we don't return several properties when retrieving multiple VMs as these are expensive and slow. We could add something into the CLI to do this conditionally however (perform individual lookups after retrieving a list of IDs)

Is it worth us using a different struct for the vm list then? I think it's a bit misleading to return empty values for them
