salt-ssh No matching sls found for 'copy.sls' in env 'base'

Question

I am trying to copy the files from my salt master to the minon using salt-ssh with file.managed module. but it is giving the below error...

[salt]# pwd
/srv/salt
[salt]# ls -l
total 20
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  80 Sep  4 21:37 copy.sls
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  47 Sep  3 04:52 lftp_install.sls
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  44 Sep  3 04:52 lftp_remove.sls
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 124 Sep  3 04:50 lftp.sls
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  65 Sep  3 04:53 Service_check.sls
[salt]# cat copy.sls
add script:
    file.managed:
    - name: testSalt
    - source: /root/testSalt
    - dest: /tmp/testSalt

Entries from /etc/salt/master

file_roots:
  base:
    - /srv/salt

[salt]# salt-ssh 'KK' state.apply copy.sls

KK:
    - No matching sls found for 'copy.sls' in env 'base'


When i ran this into the debug mode, it gives as follows..

[DEBUG   ] Could not find file from saltenv 'base', 'salt://copy/sls.sls'
[DEBUG   ] Could not find file from saltenv 'base', 'salt://copy/sls/init.sls'
[DEBUG   ] LazyLoaded nested.output
KK:
    - No matching sls found for 'copy.sls' in env 'base'

Answer 1

I noticed that, if i'll put the file to copied into the same Directory where copy.sls exits ie in my case /srv/salt then it works.

# cat copy.sls
add script:
    file.managed:
    - name: /opt/testSalt
    - source: salt://testSalt
    - user: root
    - mode: 644

salt-ssh '*' state.sls copy
