ansible - Refreshing dynamic VMware Inventory mid-play -

i building ansible playbook takes care of creating vms in vmware vcenter , later expected perform operations inside newly created vms. while creation of vms successful, there seems no way refresh dynamic vmware inventory mid-play.

i came across discussion talks amazon ec2 inventory , points usage of - meta: refresh_inventory supposed that. however, approach not seem work vcenter inventories. can suggest me approach handle this?

i use ansible tower (free version).

update don't have vmware.ini file. playbook intend refresh inventory goes follows. 1 runs prior 1 creates vms. both these playbooks called in master playbook using include statements.

--- - name: check if vms , running   hosts: localhost    tasks:     - name: initial pause until vm facts ip become available       pause: minutes=2    # 1 contains names - include_vars: /var/lib/awx/projects/vms/vmnames.yml  - name: using vsphere_guest module verify if vm available   vsphere_guest:     vcenter_hostname: <<hostname>>     guest: "{{ item }}"     validate_certs: no     vmware_guest_facts: yes     esxi:       datacenter: <<dcname>>       hostname: <<name>>   with_items: "{{ allvms }}"   register: vmfacts   no_log: true  **this try using meta refresh inventory option**  - name: checking if wait_for works   wait_for: host={{ hw_eth0.ipaddresses[1] }} state=started delay=60 timeout=60 connect_timeout=15   with_items: "{{ vmfacts.results }}"   no_log: true
