We know the name of the folder in which the VM has been running. If we didn't, or if it changed for any reason, we could use the vmware_guest_find module to dynamically discover the location:
- name: Find vm folder location
vmware_guest_find:
hostname: "{{ vsphere_host }}"
username: "{{ vsphere_username }}"
password: "{{ vsphere_password }}"
validate_certs: "no"
name: "yet_another_example_vm"
register: vm_folder
The name of the folder will be registered as vm_folder.
