Cloning from a VM on AHV

[JonKohler]

Moving issue from old repo, here: #224

I am getting the following error while trying to clone from a VM

data.nutanix_virtual_machine.vmds: 1 error(s) occurred:

• data.nutanix_virtual_machine.vmds: data.nutanix_virtual_machine.vmds: nutanix_guest_tools.is_reachable: '' expected type 'string', got unconvertible type 'bool'

Here is the terraform tf

data "nutanix_virtual_machine" "vmds" {
  #vm_id = "${data.vault_generic_secret.nutanixuuid.data["centosce7"]}"
  vm_id = "41e97c71-52b3-458a-8ca5-e0ea50b613dd" #you should set your vmID here
}

    }

  #     type = "ASSIGNED"
  #   }
  }]

  # What disk/cdrom configuration will this have?
  disk_list = [{
    # data_source_reference in the Nutanix API refers to where the source for
    # the disk device will come from. Could be a clone of a different VM or a
    # image like we're doing here

      kind = "image"
      uuid = "${data.nutanix_virtual_machine.vmds.disk_list.0.data_source_reference.uuid}"

@JonKohler were you ever able to resolve this issue? I am looking to clone an existing VM for use in my terraform code and would like to know if you did anything to get past the issue you had.

Hey Justin - sorry I didn't see this before, I haven't done anything with this issue as I'm not plugged into the terraform project any longer. ill ping the team internally

Hello,
I tested with the latest Nutanix version, and I didn't have any errors, also I added a test case to verify it, you can see it on the PR #114

Let me know if you have another comment or concern, thank you so much.

@justinhauer, this configuration was tested on the latest version of this provider (master) and seems to be fixed, this fix will be available in the next release, you can test it building the provider binary from the master, feel free to open a new issue if you are still having issues.
Thanks for your collaboration :)
