When you try to set qtest property "log" while the qtest object is active, the error message blames "insufficient permission":$ qemu-system-x86_64 -S -display none -nodefaults -monitor stdio -chardev socket,id=chrqt0,path=qtest.socket,server=on,wait=off -object qtest,id=qt0,chardev=chrqt0,log=/dev/null QEMU 7.1.50 monitor - type 'help' for more information (qemu) qom-set /objects/qt0 log qtest.log Error: Insufficient permission to perform this operation This implies it could work with "sufficient permission". It can't. Change the error message to: Error: Property 'log' can not be set now
Can it be set later? ... if not, that error message is almost as confusing as the original one. Maybe it's better to tell the users *when* they can set the property?
