vSphere Datacenter not found

[danhiris]

I'm trying to converge but I keep getting a datacenter not found error. The datacenter is in a folder.
I have a datacenter on a lab cluster that isn't in a specific folder, and everything works great.

Am I declaring the datacenter name correctly? Is this a bug that prevents the datacenter name from being set due to the folder structure?

datacenter: 'USF Support Centers/1P - Phoenix NPC - QA'

------Exception-------
Class: Kitchen::ActionFailed
Message: 1 actions failed.
Failed to complete #create action: [vSphere Datacenter not found [USF Support Centers/1P - Phoenix NPC - QA]] on default-redhat

Please see .kitchen/logs/kitchen.log for more details
Also try running kitchen diagnose --all for configuration

UPDATE:
I tested this from knife and the datacenter is found. For some reason this is not able to find the datacenter if it's under a folder structure.

I think this code has something to do with it:

rootFolder = vim.serviceInstance.content.rootFolder
dc = rootFolder.childEntity.grep(RbVmomi::VIM::Datacenter).find

When looking up data centers, folders should be traversed, not just doing a find on the rootFolder.

This is how knife vsphere does it:

  def traverse_folders_for_dc(folder, dcname)
    children = folder.children.find_all
    children.each do |child|
      if child.class == RbVmomi::VIM::Datacenter && child.name == dcname
        return child
      elsif child.class == RbVmomi::VIM::Folder
        dc = traverse_folders_for_dc(child, dcname)
        return dc if dc
      end
    end
