Got Index out of Bound while trying to get status of VM compute_client.virtual_machines.get(resrc, vm, expand="instanceView")

Question

I am getting below error when trying to get the status of the VM inside while loop:

 File "C:\Users\RohitMishra\Documents\cost-controller-engine\services\service.py", line 533, in schedule
    compute_client.virtual_machines.get(resrc, vm, expand="instanceView")
IndexError: list index out of range

Below is my code:

  Status_vm = (
    compute_client.virtual_machines.get(resrc, vm, expand="instanceView").instance_view.statuses[1].display_status)
    print("STATUS  VMMMM---",Status_vm)
    if Status_vm =="VM deallocated":
        compute_client.virtual_machines.begin_start(resrc, vm)
        while True:
            logger.info("enterd into while loop for starting VM..")
            print("STATATAus >>>>>: ",Status_vm)
            Status_vm = (
                compute_client.virtual_machines.get(resrc, vm, expand="instanceView")
                .instance_view.statuses[1]
                .display_status
            )
            logger.info(f"Status.. @: {Status_vm}")
            if Status_vm =="VM running":
                break
            else:
                time.sleep(constants.SLEEP_TIME)
        return "Successfully running your VM"

Could you guys help me with any code or logic in python to resolve this issue...

Like Laurent Mazuel said it would be great to have an issue with a full stack trace in https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/issues. I'm also wondering if it could be .instance_view.statuses[1] that you're calling on the returned object from compute_client.virtual_machines.get, are you sure there are at least 2 statuses on the instance view?
