Getting error in deploying VMs using Ansible vsphere_guest module

[jnit...@gmail.com]

I am getting below error while using Ansible (version 1.8.2) vSphere_guest module,

osboxes@osboxes:~$ ansible-playbook /etc/ansible/playbooks/main.yml -K

sudo password:

PLAY [localhost] **************************************************************

           to retry, use: --limit @/home/osboxes/main.retry

Did anybody face this issue before? It may be, I am doing some silly mistake but unable to catch that.

I think you need to fix the indentation:

vm_disk:
disk1:
size_gb: 1
type: thin
datastore: compute

Can you post the vsphere_guest task that's failing? I can't pick it exactly from that error but we use it a fair bit so can at least have a gander for any of the things we tripped up on while figuring it out.

Cheers,

Daniel

You might be getting bitten by something I fixed in December...

https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/pull/562

Does it do the same if you use the devel branch?
