By the way I found problem by vmware collection is not install or the directory of collection is not configured.

First time, you need to be sure that the collections are installed on position correctly. In my environment, I found it in /var/lib/awx/.ansible.... Or, you can try to use command find for check the location of collections. Ansible Automation is using podman under container.

all my collections are in my home directory, and i use netbox for example, it work 100% fine And now i started using community.vmware, and this collection works great
