:lady_beetle: Bug: Passing VCPU via environment variable creates VM with 0 cores

[christianhahnsft22]

I'm trying to pass in the number of vcpu via an environment variable like this:

• name: Load Number of CPU from environment set_fact:
jumphost_cpus: "{{ lookup('env', 'NUMBER_CPU') | int}}"
  • name: Create VM {{ vm_name }} scale_computing.hypercore.vm: vm_name: "{{ vm_name }}" machine_type: "UEFI" memory: "{{ jumphost_ram_size_bytes }}" vcpu: "{{ jumphost_cpus | int }}" But creating the VM fails with:

fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "There was a problem during this task execution. Task details: {\"taskTag\": \"316\", \"progressPercent\": 50, \"state\": \"ERROR\", \"formattedDescription\": \"Start Virtual Machine %@\", \"descriptionParameters\": [\"jumphost\"], \"formattedMessage\": \"Cannot start virtual machine 'jumphost'\", \"messageParameters\": [], \"objectUUID\": \"7f742bf2-128e-4f48-883c-0283df4286f3\", \"created\": 1731266925, \"modified\": 1731266937, \"completed\": 1731266937, \"sessionID\": \"a04a8728-932c-4b70-a39d-31b8fbbbe780\", \"nodeUUIDs\": [\"\"]}"}

In the UI I see afterwards a VM which has 0 cores assigned.

Hi. If NUMBER_CPU is not set in environ lookup will return empty string, and int will convert it to number 0. Provide a default value for this case - jumphost_cpus: "{{ lookup('env', 'NUMBER_CPU') or 2 | int }}".
