SaltStack: conditional include: Error if empty

Question

I have a conditional include which looks like this:

include:
{% if CONDITION-A %}
  - foo.bar
{% endif %}
{% if CONDITION-B %}
  - blu.bla
{% endif %}

This works in most cases.

But it fails if CONDITION-A and CONDITION-B are false.

How to handle this?

Answer 1

I use this pattern now:

include:
  - dummy
{% if CONDITION-A %}
  - foo.bar
{% endif %}
{% if CONDITION-B %}
  - blu.bla
{% endif %}

dummy.sls:

dummy-no-op:
  test.nop

Not nice, but works.

Better (simpler, more obvious) answers are welcome.
