Running local (and not remote) file through Jinja

[Marc Baudoin]

Hi,

I have been searching if it's possible with no luck whatsoever.

I have a bunch of files in a git repository I transfer them from master to minions using file.recurse.  Those files are actually Jinja templates I have to substitute in each directory one at a time. So, for now, I have two Jinja loops surrounding the file.recurse transfer:

{% for ... %}
{% for ... %}
file.recurse a part of the repository
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

This is working fine but I believe performance would be better if I could do the file.recurse transfer once and then the Jinja templating on local files:

file.recurse the whole repository
{% for ... %}
{% for ... %}
Jinja operation on local files
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}

Is it possible?  How?

This is not exactly what I wanted but it'll do the trick, I'll be using file.blockreplace somewhat like that:

{% set var1 = value1 %}
{% set var2 = value2 %}

test:
  file.blockreplace:
    - name: /path/to/file
    - marker_start: '# BEGIN SALT BLOCK'
    - content:      'key1: {{ var1 }}'
    - content:      'key2: {{ var2 }}'
    - marker_end:   '# END SALT BLOCK'
    - backup: False

Does setting "template: jinja" on the file.recurse state not work?
