Using Salt's LocalClient, how to achieve same results or specify '-v' arg in test.ping command?

Using the CLI, I can enter the following:

salt '*' test.ping -v

The resulting output is as follows:

minion_A:
True
minion_B:
True
minion_C:
True
minion_D:
Minion did not return

How do I get the same results using the LocalClient? This is what I'm currently attempting and only returns the minions with a response of True:

self.localClient.cmd('*', 'test.ping', ['-v'])

Update:
Based on an indication that there could be a bug with arg tuples in the command, I have also tried the following: 

args = ('-v',)
return self.localClient.cmd('*', 'test.ping', arg=args)

...sadly, still not successful

Solution

  • The best I could do was to execute from the localClient a test.ping.

    If the response is {} I assume a False return from salt-master. Otherwise, a True is received.
