Molecule 6 does not work with delegated driver

[markfaine]

I've been using the delegated driver with vmware (instead of vmware driver) for literally years and it's always worked very well (mostly) but now it fails:

CRITICAL Failed to find driver delegated. Please ensure that the driver is correctly installed.
ansible ➜ nats-default/roles/postgresql development ✗ molecule --version
molecule 6.0.1 using python 3.11
    ansible:2.15.1
    default:6.0.1 from molecule

python3 -m pip uninstall  molecule
python3 -m pip install molecule==5.1.0

development ✗ molecule converge -s rhel8
INFO     rhel8 scenario test matrix: dependency, create, prepare, converge
INFO     Performing prerun with role_name_check=0...
INFO     Set ANSIBLE_LIBRARY=/home/ansible/.cache/ansible-compat/a478b4/modules:/home/ansible/.ansible/plugins/modules:/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules...
works now

What changed in 6+ to break the delegated driver?

Thanks

it has been renamed to "default": 21f3cf2. I'm not sure if the change has been properly documented.

I tried it with default today and it deleted my entire project when I tried to run molecule reset
