Description Tomer Brisker 2020-08-11 07:13:52 UTC
When trying to create a new compute-resource via API (e.g. foreman-ansible-modules or hammer), the request fails with @Datacenter can't be blank@

<pre>
$ hammer compute-resource create --provider="VMWare" --name "vCenter" --description "Test vCenter" --user "administrator" --server "vsphere.example.com" --password 'secret' --datacenter "DEV"
Could not create the compute resource:
  Datacenter can't be blank
</pre>

I suspect the change from #30372 to be the reason for this, because it removes the @datacenter@-option from the compute-resource create instruction.
