reference state id

[Adrian Andreias]

Hello,

Is there a way to reference a salt state node name somehow?

I mean: http://pastie.org/5830349

Thanks

Why not just make projectdir another pillar variable and use it in both spots?

(I don't believe what you've shown is possible, though I'm not positive... pillar seems like an obvious solution, though, regardless.)

if you just want to avoid repetition, you can also use jinja's variable assignment: http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/#assignments

set a variable for the path and then use {{…}} to reference it anywhere you need in the sls file.

Hello,

Thanks, I'm aware of both methods (pillars and jinja variables).

I was just looking for a way to make this quicker and thought it makes sense to have a way to reference a state node's name.

I wonder of & and * yaml feature can be used for this.
