Configured template/source VM could not be found about vagrant-vsphere

[kris-luminar]

template_name should be whatever you named your template or virtual machine in vsphere.

It took me a while to work out which view in vSphere web would give the right name detail, unfortunately it is not just what you named it, but also the folder it is hiding in.

In this sample screenshot, If you had a VM located something like prvdvnam800 and you wanted to create a new VM in the vagrant subfolder

vsphere.template_name = 'Engineering/NAM/gdomjan/prvdvnam800'

vsphere.vm_base_path = 'Engineering/NAM/gdomjan/vagrant'

You may need the datacenter name (?if you have more than 1)
vsphere.data_center_name = 'Main'

If your giving the vm a name, you may want to make it unique in case of multiple users of vagrant
vsphere.name = 'PRVDVNAM800' + "_#{(Time.now.to_f * 1000.0).to_i}_#{rand(100000)}"

This saved my time/posterior this morning.

why isn't this bundled with the documentation / wiki on https://github.com/nsidc/vagrant-vsphere ?

This is awesome information, thx.
My VM built correctly however I'm left with the following error:

Anyone have an idea what this is all about ? (Undefined namespace prefix: //soapenv:Body/*)
