When this module was written back in May 2015 we were using 1.9.x. Being lazy I added to param the objects that the other functions would need. What I have noticed is in 2.0 exit_json is trying to jsonify those complex objects and failing.
Playbook
```yaml
- name: Add a temporary vSwitch
local_action:
module: vmware_vswitch
hostname: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
username: "{{ esxi_username }}"
password: "{{ site_passwd }}"
switch_name: temp_vswitch
nic_name: "{{ vss_vmnic }}"
mtu: 1500
```
Module Testing
```bash
