Exceptions with vmware_deploy_ovf module

[Vichu]

hello there,

I am trying to automate the cloud director OVA deployment in our local lab. Built a playbook but caught up with the exception during the execution. Need your advice to unblock from this. 

Error found:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: TypeError: For "valuepected type str, but got int
fatal: [localhost -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "module_stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n e \"/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1654025411.9694972-30359-230767769553477/AnsiballZ_vmware_deploy_ovf.py\", line 100 <module>\n    _ansiballz_main()\n  File \"/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1654025411.9694972-30359-230767769553477/AnslZ_vmware_deploy_ovf.py\", line 92, in _ansiballz_main\n    invoke_module(zipped_mod, temp_path, ANSIBALLZ_PARAMS)\n   \"/root/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1654025411.9694972-30359-230767769553477/AnsiballZ_vmware_deploy_ovf.py\", line 41, nvoke_module\n    run_name='__main__', alter_sys=True)\n  File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 205, in run_modn    return _run_module_code(code, init_globals, run_name, mod_spec)\n  File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 9n _run_module_code\n    mod_name, mod_spec, pkg_name, script_name)\n  File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 85,_run_code\n    exec(code, run_globals)\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_vmware_deploy_ovf_payload_r7j_7pzv/ansible_vmware_deploy_payload.zip/ansible_collections/community/vmware/plugins/modules/vmware_deploy_ovf.py\", line 755, in <module>\n  Fil/tmp/ansible_vmware_deploy_ovf_payload_r7j_7pzv/ansible_vmware_deploy_ovf_payload.zip/ansible_collections/community/vm/plugins/modules/vmware_deploy_ovf.py\", line 743, in main\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_vmware_deploy_ovf_payload_r7j_7pzv/ale_vmware_deploy_ovf_payload.zip/ansible_collections/community/vmware/plugins/modules/vmware_deploy_ovf.py\", line 530 upload\n  File \"/tmp/ansible_vmware_deploy_ovf_payload_r7j_7pzv/ansible_vmware_deploy_ovf_payload.zip/ansible_collecs/community/vmware/plugins/modules/vmware_deploy_ovf.py\", line 443, in get_lease\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python3.6/spackages/pyVmomi/VmomiSupport.py\", line 663, in __setattr__\n    CheckField(self._GetPropertyInfo(name), val)\n  Fileusr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pyVmomi/VmomiSupport.py\", line 1098, in CheckField\n    % (info.name, info.typeame__, valType.__name__))\nTypeError: For \"value\" expected type str, but got int\n", "module_stdout": "", "msg": "MO FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error", "rc": 1}

I'd try quoting this 1 and see if that helps

        vcloudconf.sys_name.VMware_vCloud_Director: vCloud
        vcloudnet.routes0.VMware_vCloud_Director: "{{ route1 }}"
        vcloudnet.routes1.VMware_vCloud_Director: "{{ route2 }}"
        vm.vmname: "VMware_vCloud_Director"
    delegate_to: localhost

Thanks for the response.  Quote didn't help. 

Any other suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks again for looking into this. Actually, I have hardcoded the values in the actual yaml file whereas here I have given the variable to hide the actual ip and credential info. With that said, that is not the problem here. 

Appreciate your time & help.
