Require sls by its ID Declaration

Question

I have two state files:

• php/init.sls
• php-fpm.sls

php/init.sls installs the package php53u

I'm trying to get php-fpm.sls to require php as that is how I declare it inside php/init.sls, however it only works if I require the pkg: php53u and not sls: php

Contents of php/init.sh:

php:
  pkg:
    - name: php53u
    - installed

Contents of php-fpm.sls (using pkg where it works):

include:
  - nginx
  - php

php-fpm:
  pkg:
    - name: php53u-fpm
    - installed
  service:
    - running
    - enable: True
    - require:
      - pkg: php53u-fpm
      - pkg: php53u

extend:
  nginx:
    file:
      - name: /etc/nginx/php-fpm
      - source: salt://nginx/src/etc/nginx/php-fpm
      - managed
      - template: jinja

(note that this has extra stuff about nginx that currently isn't a require though it should be)

Answer 1

You are correctly including the php sls file. You just need to set your require like this:

- pkg: php

Here's an example that should work:

php-fpm:
  pkg:
    - name: php53u-fpm
    - installed
    - require:
      - pkg: php
  service:
    - running
    - enable: True
    - watch:
      - pkg: php53u-fpm
      - pkg: php

Notice that I also added the require to the pkg stanza to make sure that the php package is installed before the php53u-fpm package.

I also changed the "require" under the service stanza to a "watch". A "watch" acts as a "require", but also will restart the service if the "watched" pkg changes. So if there's a package upgrade it will restart the service automatically.
