      When a pipeline job requests a node with no label specified a null appears to be passed to the vSphere plugin. One can argue if a null is the appropriate value. However for sure the plugin should be starting any VM template that is configured, because an empty label should match any VM.
      See the following error message I see in the logs instead:

      WARNING: provision(null,1): Failed.
