Ansible vsphere_guest error

Question

I try to auto create some VM i can say the CODE was working as it was ... I was able to create 20 VM on the fly! Now I upgrade my Ansible from Ansible 1.8.4 configured module search path = None TO

Ansible 1.9.0.1 configured module search path = None

As I upgrade my pysphere from 0.1.7 to 0.1.8 (pysphere-0.1.8-py2.7.egg-info) the only reason for the upgrade is relocate() function in 0.1.8.

So now I try to run my Ansible code and I get this ERROR

failed: [host1] => {"failed": true}
msg: unsupported parameter for module: username

tasks:
    - debug: var=vm
    - name: Gather VM facts
      vsphere_guest:
        vcenter_hostname: vcenter name
        password: pass
        username: user
        guest: ansible
        vmware_guest_facts: yes

REMOTE_MODULE vsphere_guest vcenter_hostname=XXXXXXXXX guest=ansible password=VALUE_HIDDEN username=    <------  MISSING !!!! why ??

I install new server and go back to old version: same issue so … how can I get more detail log?

What am I missing?

Thanks Noam

i think maby this is vcenter issue but i dont see any way or error on the server i can tell you that i run the command and did netstat to see it connection to the vcenter is come up but no ... so i try using python 2.7 and try to connect to vcenter and it worked ... i am lost :-( — Noam Greenberg, Mar 29 '15 at 15:55

OK i fix it ! yes i am idiot ! 50% :)

by default ansible is try to find folder named library in this folder you put some new module and i download vsphere_guest.py from some site and ansible just use it ! the only issue is that i dont understand why in the run you can see that module is from the url or any url :)

case closed many thanks
