Unable to access the virtual machine configuration (vmware automation) while cloning from template - Ansible version 2.13

I'm wondering whether any of you have encounter similar issue. I have 2 Ansible machines. One is running on Centos 7, version 2.9.27 (with python 2.7.5) and second on Ubuntu 22 with Ansible 2.13

Using Centos as my deployment machine I can clone and configure VM's from template without any issues. I'm using ansible collection community.vmware modulesby the way

While trying to deploy VM from template using Ansible 2.13 (same playbook code as for Centos), I'm getting really weird error:

fatal: [XXX-016 -> localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to create a virtual machine : Unable to access the virtual machine configuration: Unable to access file [host-004-local-sas] Ubuntu22_04_x64-template/Ubuntu22_04_x64-template.vmx"}

I installed community.vmware package with all prerequisites following this instructions: https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware

And I still see this error. Running same code, against same ESXi hosts on Centos and Ansible 2.9.27 works without any issues.

I tried to find solution online but not much and I already spent 2 days troubleshooting that.

I'd appreciate any insights or help. Thanks

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
