Hi,
I just started using Ansible and I'm having trouble sending key strokes to
a VM to select options for an OS install. However, I get a "Failed to send
key ... to virtual machine due to None" when trying to send keys. I have
also tried using string_send (just to see if it worked), and I also got the
same error.
The information to connect to vSphere is correct, because I was able to run
a vmware_guest to create a VM, although I was wondering if it my be a
permissions issue as I don't have all privileges on my account.
Thanks for your help!
