@schmikei @StefanKurek, can either of you please take this? This is blocking other PRs

[StefanKurek]

@djaglowski I should be able to take a look

[djaglowski]

Thanks @StefanKurek!

@djaglowski So I "think" I at least have some idea where to start looking. So at the very least, with the new govmomi update, I know that this is now using a new type of call RetrievePropertiesEx as the old one RetrieveProperties was deprecated as of version 4.1 of the API.

This results in the mock server not returning a correct response to seed the finder with a default datacenter, and then some (all?) consecutive client calls will fail (as they are expecting this).

Also, "all" the mock responses may need to be updated to RetrievePropertiesExResponse types rather than just for this one call. I'm not completely sure of this though, and would require more digging (would also probably become obvious after fixing that initial mocked response).

I don't have time to work on this immediately. It may be a few days, but I will try to come back to it soon.

[StefanKurek]

We should be able to close this now
