cannot get this playbook to work with inventory file

I am having an issue with ansible/vmware. Trying to clone vms from an inventory file and playbook

inventory file:

[test-vms]
ans-test[01:05] ‘disk’=‘60’ ‘memory’=‘2048’ ‘cpucount’=‘1’ ‘datastore’=‘VOL1-TEST’ 'osid=‘windows9Server64Guest’

playbook yml file:

vars_prompt:

  • name: “vcenter_hostname”
    prompt: “Enter vcenter hostname”
    private: no
    default: “vcsa”
  • name: “vcenter_user”
    prompt: “Enter vcenter username”
    private: no
  • name: “vcenter_pass”
    prompt: “Enter vcenter password”
    private: yes

vars:
datacenter: ‘DC’’
esxi_host: ‘xxxxxxx’
notes: ‘Created by Ansible’
template: ‘2016STDx64_Template’
datastore: ‘VOL1-TEST’
network: ‘vlan200’
folder: ‘ansible’

tasks:

  • vsphere_guest:
    vcenter_hostname: “{{ vcenter_hostname }}”
    username: “{{ vcenter_user }}”
    password: “{{ vcenter_pass }}”
    guest: “{{ inventory_hostname }}”
    validate_certs: False
    from_template: yes
    template_src: “{{ template }}”
    vm_extra_config:
      folder: "{{ folder }}"
      notes: "{{ notes }}"
    vm_disk:
      disk1:
        size_gb: "{{ disk }}"
        type: thin
        datastore: "{{ datastore }}"
    vm_nic:
      nic1:
        type: vmxnet3
        network: "{{ network }}"
        network_type: standard
    vm_hardware:
      memory_mb: "{{ memory }}"
      num_cpus: "{{ cpucount }}"
      osid: "{{ osid }}"
      scsi: paravirtual
    esxi:
      datacenter: "{{ datacenter }}"
      hostname: "{{ esxi_host }}"

the playbook runs but the VMs asre not getting put in the right datastore. Also the memory is not set correctly at 2GB ram. vcpus is ok at 1

any idea?
