`vmware_content_library_info` functional test is currently broken because it
assumes the vCenter content library is not empty.
With this commit, the test inits the vCenter content library database using
`prepapre_vmware_tests`, this before the functional test execution.
Add a new file to record the variables that are shared with the two
scenarios (real_lab and vcsim).
The goal is to reduce the the amount of boilerplate configuration from
a user perspective.
- In order to keep the integration with `ansible-test`, we prefer to avoid any
interaction with the Ansible inventory file.
- split up the prepare_vmware_tests/defaults/main.yml in two
configuration files: one for vcsim and one for a real environment
- remove all the access to hostvars
- directly interact with the ESXi to mount/umount the datastore
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/56516
- record the virtual machine folder in the environment configuration
- vmware_guest_move: Use https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/55237
The use of the `hostvars[esxi1].ansible_host` was attempt to use
different hostname and IP address. But it's actually the source of
more problems.
VMware expects to be able to resolvable the host name. This means, that
if someone wants to run the test-suite, s/he needs to use a DNS or
update the `/etc/hosts` files on the different hosts.
Refactoring of the following roles to make use of the new
`prepare_vmware_tests` role.
- `vmware_drs_group`
- `vmware_drs_group_facts`
- `vmware_drs_rule_facts`
- `vmware_drs_portgroup`
- `vmware_drs_portgroup_facts`
- `vmware_dvs_portgroup_facts`
- `vmware_dvswitch`
- `vmware_dvswitch_pvlans`

The vmware test roles do a lot of similar operation to prepare
the environment. This role will be used to reduce the amount of
duplicated code.
The role can prepare an environment on a baremetal environment, this
in addition to vcsim.
