proxmox_vm_info: Failed to retrieve QEMU VMs information: 'template'

[florianfischer91]

Summary

When i try to use the module proxmox_vm_info with a specific vmid i get in some rare circumstance (not really reproducible) the following error:

Failed to retrieve QEMU VMs information: 'template'

Looking into the code the error is probably coming from https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.general/blob/stable-9/plugins/modules/proxmox_vm_info.py#L204

I'm using proxmox version 8.1.x and 8.2.x

Maybe an easy fix would just be to use desired_vm.get instead of square brackets?

desired_vm["template"] = proxmox_to_ansible_bool(desired_vm.get("template", 0))
