Minion cannot find file on master

On Minion:

      ID: run_snmpv3_config
Function: file.managed
    Name: /tmp/run_snmpv3_config_cmd.sh
  Result: False
 Comment: Source file salt://files/run_snmpv3_config_cmd.sh not found in saltenv 'base'
 Started: 15:11:56.175325
Duration: 27.084 ms
 Changes:

On master we confirm that the minion does in fact see the file:

master # salt minion cp.list_master | grep snmp
    - files/run_snmpv3_config_cmd.sh

So why isn't it able to get it?

(In fact I wanted to use cmd.script but that errors out with Unable to cache script, so I tried to just copy the file, which doesn't work either as we see above.)

Solution

  • I called the state for debugging purposes on a client system using

    salt-call --local state.apply teststate -l debug

    Of course in this case it will look for file salt://x inside /srv/salt (or whatever the minion's config is) on the minion and not the master....
