Description

Hey when trying to clone a VM from content_library_item which is an OVA it works, but when trying to customize, i get this error suddenly

│ Error: cannot locate virtual machine or template with UUID "": virtual machine with UUID "" not found
│ 
│   with vsphere_virtual_machine.be_win_vms[2],
│   on vSphere.tf line 136, in resource "vsphere_virtual_machine" "be_win_vms":

I am getting this same issue or very similar.

I am trying to clone from a library item also.

data "vsphere_content_library" "library" {
  name = "mylibary"

data "vsphere_content_library_item" "item" {
  name = "template_name"
  type = "vm_template"
  library_id = data.vpshere_content_library.library.id
}

data "vsphere_virtual_machine" "template_machine" {
  uuid = data.vsphere_content_library_item.item.id # Terraform complains of this UUID
}

# later in resource_virtual_machine:

clone {
  template_uuid = data.vsphere_virtual_machine.template_machine.id
}

this brings the correct UUID from the template, still terraform complains UUID not found, but when visiting this item in the library in the VCENTER Website the UUID referred for each item in the library goes by this format:

UUID_from_template:UUID_from_vcenter

So perhaps this is the issue here? Falling sort for the correct UUID or how it has to be referred?

Question: If you separate this into different plans for the sake of testing to remove the depends / potential race condition, does the issue still persist?

For example, you could use this sample to test this scenario.
