Timeout during template clone

[otwieracz]

While trying to clone template to VM using vagrant-vsphere I am running into timeout error after 5 minutes:

==> default: Calling vSphere CloneVM with the following settings:
==> default:  -- Template VM: pcc-149-56-104-121_datacenter2487/vm/Templates/Linux/centos-7-server
==> default:  -- Target VM: pcc-149-56-104-121_datacenter2487/vm/TEST/kitchen-cookbooks-default-centos-7-server_default_1501830422774_3121
STDERR: Undefined namespace prefix: //soapenv:Body/*
---- End output of vagrant up --no-provision --provider vsphere ----
Ran vagrant up --no-provision --provider vsphere returned 1] on default-centos-7-server

The issue is also described here:
nsidc/vagrant-vsphere#106

Seems like in my case, on OVH Private Cloude (vSphere 6), timeout is more or less after 5min:

I, [2017-08-04T09:21:09.865227 #30699]  INFO -- Kitchen: -----> Creating <default-centos-7-server>...

vagrant-vsphere uses .wait_for_completionwhich timeouts on the vSphere side.

What I can suggest is to, instead of .wait_for_completion, ask every a while if the VM is already cloned.

I'm not sure there is much I can do about this from the rbvmomi side. What you mentioned should work. You can increase the timeout for rbvmomi, but if the provider is where the timeout is occurring, I'm not sure what I could offer.

How can I check if object returned fromtemplate.CloneVM_Task(folder: vm_base_folder, name: name, spec: spec) is complete other than .wait_for_completion? Do you have any idea about possible re-implementation of wait_for_completion in form of polling loop?
