jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound: snippets/builder_vsphere_windows.json

Attempting to install and use malboxes on OSX using vSphere backend.

I have modified the ~/Library/Application Support/malboxes/config.js with the vsphere info, and when I try to run malboxes build win10_64_analyst, it throws the following:

CoreBook:malboxes marklinton$ malboxes build win10_64_analyst

I think related to not being able to find the snippet. Any ideas?

I just pushed a fix. Can you pip uninstall / pip install and try again please?

I'm having sort of a similar issue, not sure if it should be separated from this one. Just trying malboxes build <any_template> fails on a fresh install. I get:
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/jinja2/compiler.py", line 427, in fail raise TemplateAssertionError(msg, lineno, self.name, self.filename) jinja2.exceptions.TemplateAssertionError: no filter named 'tojson'

It looks like it's coming from here:
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/malboxes/templates/win7_32_analyst.json", line 39, in template ,{{ p | tojson }}
If I need to make a new bug I can, but I thought they might be related. Thanks.

@jthomp888999 I believe that the issue with 'tojson' is some different issue. I have created bug report #80 for that - #80

[obilodeau]

@jthomp888999, now that #82 is in master, can you give it another try?

@mlinton, do you still have an issue?

[jthomp888999]

It's all good with me now, thank you!
