Hi,
I'm trying to create a pipeline that involves cloning a VM in vSphere (5.5) and have a couple of issues - not sure if its what I'm doing or a bug...
My vSphere environment is vCenter Appliance 5.5 + one esxi 5.5 host with local datastore and no resource pools defined.
Jenkins 2.53, vSphere Plugin 2.15
1 - Using the code below, my job runs and does successfully create the cloned VM's in vSphere, but the build step fails (This is inside a parallel - I am cloning 2 vm's, only one shown here)
vSphere buildStep: [$class: 'Clone',
clone: "${rhelVer}_Dev_Template",
cluster: "Lab",
datastore: "esx1-local-v1",
linkedClone: false,
powerOn: false,
resourcePool: 'Resources',
sourceName: "${host}"], serverName: 'vcenter_server'
[Pipeline] { (VMWare Templating)
[Pipeline] parallel

In vCenter the cloned VM is indeed there and can be powered on - so the clone did work... why would the branch be failing?
2 - I cannot get the pipeline syntax generator to generate anything other than an NPE:
(Attached screen capture - what is the serverName expected in the resourcePool field? I've tried all sorts with the same result)
