Set var in sls state from module function output

[Maayan Apelboim]

Hi all,

I'm trying to run a module function from SLS state and put the output into a variable, but getting the following error: "Jinja variable 'function object' has no attribute 'items' ". 

The output should be dictionary, and eventually I want to only get the key.

What am I missing?

My code example:

{% set sites = salt['win_iis.list_sites'].items() %}

When running the module from salt master I'm getting the following output and would like to use only the site name.

salt server_name state.show_sls iis

Server_name:

    ----------

    Default Web Site:

        ----------

        apppool:

            DefaultAppPool

        bindings:

            ----------

            <ip>:443::

                ----------

                certificatehash:

                certificatestorename:

                hostheader:

                ipaddress:

                    <ip>

                port:

                    443

                protocol:

                    https

                sslflags:

                    0

            <ip>:80::

                ----------

                certificatehash:

                certificatestorename:

                hostheader:

                ipaddress:

                    <ip>

                port:

                    80

                protocol:

                    http

                sslflags:

                    0

        id:

            1

        sourcepath:

            %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot

        state:

            Started

Thanks

Hi,

you are missing something very important, the parentheses to call the function.

{% set sites = salt['win_iis.list_sites']().items() %}

Regards,

Dafydd
