I am getting error:
No top file or external data matches found" when running state.highstate command from salt master.
I have created two minions, one on same node where salt master present and one on another host.
When I am running command salt '*' state.highstate, top.sls gets successfully executed on node where master is present and fails on another node with above error.
Minion1 version(Same node as that of master): 2015.8.8(centos)
Minion2 version: 0.17.5(ubuntu)
Issue is resolved for me now. Issue was with salt master and minion version. I was using salt-minion version different from salt-master version.
My salt-master was running with version 0.17.5 and minion was running with different version. I reinstall minion with correct version. Issue is resolved now.
