I was able to use another module to solve this issue. I setup a play using
the module vmware_guest_find
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/vmware_guest_find_module.html>.
The play I used is:
- hosts: localhost
vars_prompt:
- name: username
prompt: "VCenter username"
private: no
- name: password
prompt: "VCenter password"
private: yes
tasks:
- name: find vm paths
vmware_guest_find:
hostname: vcenter.host
datacenter: QAE
name: "{{ item }}"
password: "{{ password }}"
username: "{{ username }}"
validate_certs: false
register: path
deligate_to: localhost
with_items:
- vm1.domain
- vm2.domain
- vm3.domain
- vm4.domain
...
The output (with the verbosity increased -vv) is:
ok: [localhost] => (item=vm1.domain) => {"changed": false, "folders":
["/vm/Staging"], "item": "vm1.domain"}
So this gave me the path of /vm/Staging. Per the module documentation for
vmware_guest_snapshot
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/vmware_guest_snapshot_module.html> it
is stated that the datacenter should also be included in the folder. So
the value for folder, in my example, is "QAE/vm/Staging" and now my
snapshot playbooks work.
I hope this is able to help someone else.
