Description
Rex should output proper errors if it has some difficulties during VM operations. For example when trying to clone a non-existing VM, or if there are already a VM with a desired name of a new VM.
ps.: this probably would solve the same/similar issues seen while using Rex::Box and/or Rex::Test
