returner question

[Kent Tenney]

Howdy,

I'm having trouble with specifying a returner.

On the minion, If I change redis_return.py __opts__['redis.host'] to my url
and run:

# salt lappy cmd.run 'ls' --return=redis_return
it works as expected

I copied redis_return.py to my_return.py and expected this to work
# salt lappy cmd.run 'ls' --return=my_return

but it doesn't
I have restarted the minion.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Kent

Yes, that should work, are there any errors or debug messages with the loader system when you start up the minion? if you start the minion with -l debug does anything odd show up?

My guess here is that the 'getdata' returner is not getting loaded, what version of Salt is this?

Seems to be Frankenversion 0.0
The code is from trunk, but old files are showing up, maybe
inconsistency in usage of --install-layout=deb, other foolishness.

I'll clean house.
