vmware_guest - VM is created but the name "none"

[esxi...@gmail.com]

Hi folks

When i use below on a Ubuntu 20.04 ansible control node , vm is created but the OS name shows "none"

Same playbook i am running on a CentOS7 ansible control node the then the vm name is not none but correct one

Any suggestions on this Please ?

cat vm-create-paramater.yml

The Linux distro on the control node is largely irrelevant. It's the way you define the variables that is the problem.

Add a debug task and check what does variables really are. 

What is in that vars file? Typo? Etc etc

Well    - /etc/ansible/playbooks/vm-provision/vars/var.yml in my case only has credentials

All variables are passed with -e

So i do not think the issue is with vars in this case

ansible-playbook  /etc/ansible/playbooks/vm-provision/vm-create-paramater.yml --extra-vars "vm_name=xxx xxx xxx "

i will try run with -vvvv

Here is the output

What do you mean no output?
Why is there no output?

Sounds like you have two totally different control nodes, with
different ansible installs, possibly multiple installs, mixed with
Jenkins.
And oh yeah they're also different OS-es.
Since there are so many differences it's will be very hard to tell why
things work on one box and not on the other.

You could start with eliminating the differences between ansible installs.
For instance using a venv on both will help.
