salt.file.absent with regular expression

[gargi]

Hi all,

this might be much easier -- I just somehow cannot find the right solution. I'm trying to execute something like the salt way:

$ rm -rf /opt/activemq*

Of course, I could execute it as a command, however, I wanted to use file.absent:

delete_activemq:

  file.absent:

    - names:

      - /opt/activemq*

      - /etc/init.d/activemq

      - /etc/default/activemq

All works fine except that salt is trying to delete a folder / file with the name /opt/activemq* instead of interpreting the * as a regular expression / regex.

How can I do that?

Thank you,

Edgar

file.absent doesn't do globs. but file.find does. 

{% set files = salt.file.find(path='/opt/', name='activemq*') %}

{% set files = files + ['/etc/init.d/activemq','/etc/default/activemq'] %}

delete_activemq:

  file.absent:

    - names: {{files|yaml}}
