Description

I've been attempting to use hammer to create hosts for VMWare, but it always returns:

[ERROR 2014-12-29 19:10:17 Exception] Failed to create a compute vsphere-foo (VMWare) instance foo.bar.com: failed to create vm: undefined method `new' for nil:NilClass

Could not create the host:
  Failed to create a compute vsphere-foo (VMWare) instance foo.bar.com: failed to create vm: undefined method `new' for nil:NilClass

Hammer is being run from the same host running The Foreman, which is running CentOS 6.6. I've encountered this with The Foreman 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7, all installed via the official YUM repository. The Foreman has a compute resource configured for a VMWare vSphere 5.5.0 build 2001466. The Foreman can successfully provision VMs via the Web GUI.

The command I'm using to create hosts is:

hammer -v --show-ids host create \
  --architecture-id=1 \
  --build=false \
  --compute-attributes="cluster=QA,cpus=1,memory_mb=2048,path=/Datacenters/Foo/vm" \
  --compute-profile-id=8 \
  --compute-resource-id=3 \
  --domain-id=3 \
  --environment-id=1 \
  --hostgroup-id=8 \
  --interface="type=network,network=network-30" \
  --name="foo" \
  --operatingsystem-id=19 \
  --owner-id=8 \
  --partition-table-id=1 \
  --puppet-proxy-id=1 \
  --volume="datastore=mushka,name='Hard disk',size_gb=10"

The latest log entry for this event from The Foreman 1.7.1 is:
