How did you determine this? Because i've done this multiple times with a space and have never run into any issue...
What versions of ESXi and vCenter are you running?

esxi 6.0, vcenter 6.0
I am passing a (var) datastore path to an iso as "[OS] Linux/ubuntu-16.iso" as iso_path in the cdrom object, i.e:

tasks:
  -- name: create vm
       vmware_guest:
     (details removed for brevity)
     cdrom:
       type: "iso"
       iso_path: "{{ iso_path }}"

it only gets the [OS] part unless I remove the space between [OS] and Linux/ubuntu-16.iso

@brystro @pdellaert Any thoughts on this?

[pdellaert]

@brystro, that is strange, because i have something similar and it works every time...:

    cdrom:
      type: iso
      iso_path: "{{ vcenter_iso_path }}/{{ name }}-cidata.iso"

where {{ vcenter_iso_path }} equals [nfs] cloud-init-isos, and it works fine.

Have you tested doing just a string, not a variable and see what that gives? (also made sure there is no double space).

@brystro are you still having trouble with the space between the datastore and the path? If we don't hear more details, we'll close this PR.

No new is good news, I hope. Since we haven't seen confirmation that the space is still causing problems, and we have seen confirmation that tasks can work the way the documentation suggests, I'm going to close this PR. @brystro please open an issue (or a new PR) if this is still a problem.
