vmware_host_lockdown doesn't support check_mode in Ansible

[nishikanth]

Below is the playbook we are using with check mode but logs shows that check_mode is not supported

---

• name: check mode validation
  hosts: localhost
  connection: local
  tasks:

  • include_vars: vcent_cred.yml

  • name: Enter host system into lockdown mode
    vmware_host_lockdown:
    hostname: '{{ vcenter_hostname }}'
    username: '{{ vcenter_username }}'
    password: '{{ vcenter_password }}'
    esxi_hostname: '{{ esxi_hostname }}'
    state: present
    delegate_to: localhost
    register: lock_mode
    check_mode: yes

  • name: Print lockmode info
    debug:
    var: lock_mode

Output:
