Create VM from VMDK in VMware using Ansible

I could create VM in VMware from existing VMDK from Vsphere client. But I am not able to create it using Ansible. Can anyone suggest how to create VM from existing VMDK with Ansible?

From my experience, you can't do it out of the box with Ansible.

I edited vsphere_guest module to be able to accomplish this for my client.
Unfortunately I can't disclose this custom module's code.

You need to modify add_disk method: remove create file operation and set existing VMDK filename for disk backing.
