Cannot pillar.get but pillar.items get the data

[Pier B.]

Hi,


I am experiencing something "strange" with pillar data. I use gitfs as external pillar and did not exprience any issue at all once correctly setup, however today I added some new data to my pillar source but I cannot use the pillar.get function to get it, although pillar.items display the correct data .....


Here are some information :

Salt_Pillar/testBed$ cat top.sls
base:
  '*':
    - role.directory_server.opendj
    - common.ntp_server

Salt_Pillar/testBed$ cat role/directory_server/opendj.sls
opendj:
  vip: NONE

Salt_Pillar/testBed$ cat common/ntp_server.sls
## NTP server pillar data
ntp_server:
  name: ntp

And my tests:

server

also :

root@salt [~]: /usr/bin/salt "server"  pillar.get ntp_server:name
server:
    ntp
root@salt [~]: /usr/bin/salt "server"  pillar.get opendj:vip
server:
root@salt [~]:

And :

root@salt [~]: /usr/bin/salt "server"  pillar.items
server:
[...]
    ntp_server:
        ----------
        name:
            ntp
    opendj:
        ----------
        vip:
            NONE
[...]
root@salt [~]:

Any ideas why I cannot get the valu for opendj:vip from pillar.get function ?

Sorry I forgot version details :

Master :

root@salt [~]: salt-master --version

salt-master 2016.11.5 (Carbon)

minion:

root@server [sbin]: salt-call --version

salt-call 2016.11.5 (Carbon)

Try manually refreshing Pillar via `salt-call saltutil.refresh_pillar`
first. I seem to recall a bug with `pillar.items` / `pillar.get` that
sounds similar to this.

Thanks Seth,

I knew I was just forgetting something easy (it's not like I did this a thousand times ...), and yes that did the trick .... silly me.


Thanks again
