Where are you specifying the vm_name in vmware_vm_info? ansible-doc shows
this is a required parameter.
*- name: Gather one specific VM*
* community.vmware.vmware_vm_info:*
* hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'*
* username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'*
* password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'*
* vm_name: 'vm_name_as_per_vcenter'*
* delegate_to: localhost*
* register: vm_info*
In your example you would need to use "{{ vm_name }}" as the value of the
vm_name parameter.
