Get custom taxonomy for visual composer shortcode but not working?

I created a shortcode for visual composer to get terms of a custom taxonomy. But when I get them (for a category dropdown on visual composer's backend editor) it's not working.

My code:

$args1= array(
   ‘taxonomy’ = ‘danh_muc’, **// my custom taxonomy**
   ‘hide_empty’ = 0,
);
$inra=array();
$danhmucs= get_terms($args1);
foreach ($danhmucs as $danhmuc) {
   $tendm=$danhmuc- name;
   $iddm=$danhmuc- term_id;
   $inra[$tendm]=$iddm;
}
vc_map( array(
   “name” = __(“News”, ‘understrap’),
   “base” = “tintuc”,
   “class” = “”,
   “category” = ‘Content’,
   “icon” = “icon-wpb-application-icon-large”,
   “params” = array(
      array(
         “type” = “dropdown”,
         “holder” = “div”,
         “class” = “”,
         “heading” = “Danh mục”,
         “param_name” = “cat”,
         “value” = $inra, //**array taxonomy by name= id**
         “description” = ‘Chọn danh mục BĐS cần hiện bài đăng’,
      ),
   )
));

But when I change ‘taxonomy’ => ‘danh_muc’ to ‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’ it's working fine!

I var_dump $inra with 2 cases: ‘taxonomy’ => ‘danh_muc’ and ‘taxonomy’ => ‘category’, The results are the same.

Thanks all!

This post is quite old but it helped me to create the code I needed. As I have a working solution, thanks to @ricotheque and @aminor1993 I wanted to post my code here. Maybe it helps someone looking for the same.

I have a custom post type called 'reference' which have categories as taxonomies called 'reference_category'.

I want the user to be able to select a category, created on the reference custom post type, so I can show him the reference items which are assigned to the selected category.

Here is my code:

$references=array();
$reference_items = get_terms (
    array(
        "taxonomy" => "reference_category",
        "hide_empty" => 0,
    )
);
foreach ($reference_items as $item) {
    $itemName = $item-> name;
    $itemId = $item-> term_id;
    $references[$itemId] = $itemName;
}


vc_map(
    array(
        "name" => __("Reference"),
        "base" => "ci_vc_reference",
        "icon" => "ci-vc-icon",
        "category" => __('Colibri Interactive', 'ciframework-vc'),
        "params" => array(
            array(
                "type" => "dropdown",
                "holder" => "div",
                "class" => "",
                "heading" => __('Show references of category', 'ciframework-vc'),
                "param_name" => "category",
                "value" => $references,
            ),
       )
    )
);

Are there actually any terms in your dahn_muc custom taxonomy? get_terms won't return anything if no terms have been created.

Also, how did you create your custom taxonomy? I usually rely on GenerateWP.com's taxonomy generator to make sure everything's done properly.

Lastly, it might be better to reverse how you populate your $inra array. Use the term IDs as the keys, instead of the values:

foreach ( $danhmucs as $danhmuc ) {
    ...
    $inra[$iddm] = $tendm;
    ...
}
