Cannot find service 'com.vmware.vcenter.vm_template.library_items

Please can you try installing vsphere-automation-python-sdk? One of the requirement for this module

ansible/lib/ansible/modules/cloud/vmware/vmware_content_deploy_template.py

Line 32 in a79f7e5

- vSphere Automation SDK

Please refer documentation https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python, installation step: pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python.git

Thanks

hello,
Installing collected packages: vSphere-Automation-SDK Found existing installation: vSphere-Automation-SDK 1.7.0 Uninstalling vSphere-Automation-SDK-1.7.0: Successfully uninstalled vSphere-Automation-SDK-1.7.0 Running setup.py install for vSphere-Automation-SDK ... done Successfully installed vSphere-Automation-SDK-1.7.0
Seems that SDK is installed OK

Hi @markatdxb , Sorry for the confusion. com.vmware.vcenter.vm_template.library_items service is introduced after 6.5. APIs are updated after 6.7
I did typo mistake in Module tested section. 6.5 should not be mentioned in that.

Sorry again for the wrong info

Thanks
