Unable to gather information about snapshots for non-existing VM

SUMMARY
We have two identical ansible control nodes, one of them running RedHAt 8.9, ansible 2.9 and we have upgraded the other node to RedHat 9.4 and ansible 2.14. On the latter we have installed community.vmware 3.11.3 and pyvmomi 7.0.3 but cannot get the vmware_guest_snapshot_info to work

- community.vmware

EXPECTED RESULTS
I am expecting the playbook to gather information about the VM. The same code works as expected on the other node running RedHat 8.9 and ansible 2.9

You use folder_details.stdout variable for parameter folder in module vmware_guest_info. Make sure that the contents of folder_details.stdout match the required path format for the folder parameter.

Thanks` a lot, Alexander, that was the issue... In this newer version of the vmware modules, the get folder module returns a list instead of string like the old one and I had to adjust my playbook in order to work. But it works!, thank you again
