Ansible swallows OS error output when ovftool fails to run
Describe the bug
When plugins/modules/nsxt_deploy_ova.py
is run via a task, and a library is not present, that error is swallowed and not displayed. The ovftool output is empty, no logs are produced and the exit code is 127. This is very confusing to the user.
In my case, the ovftool was being run on a CentOS 8 container that was lacking libnsl
When running the playbook the error was
msg: 'Failed to deploy OVA, error message from ovftool is: , the comand was [''/ovftool/ovftool'',...
But when running ovftool directly the output was
/ovftool/ovftool.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Reproduction steps
1. On CentOS 8, run `vmware.ansible_for_nsxt.nsxt_deploy_ova`
I can provide more detailed production steps using the included tests later, but can't copy-paste everything that I am running right now.
Expected behavior
When there is an error running ovftool,
- Exit code is returned. eg
Exit code was: 127
- Error from the OS is returned. eg
/ovftool/ovftool.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libnsl.so.1: cannot open shared object file
