Struggling with jinja replace filter

[Kevin Dodge]

So looking at this page http://wsgiarea.pocoo.org/jinja/docs/filters.html I should be able to use the jinja filter "replace".   But everytime I try to do this in my .sls files I get this error - "["Rendering SLS glassfish failed, render error:\nexpected token 'end of statement block', got 'string'"]}"

 

Example:

example.sls -- 

{% set filteredString='abcdef'|replace 'a' 'b' %}

salt '*' state.show_sls example

Error:

["Rendering SLS glassfish failed, render error:\nexpected token 'end of statement block', got 'string'"]

Wow, I found the answer to my own problem, and now I feel stupid.  Turns out the link I references is jinja 1.0 documentation.   The proper documentation is here http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/#builtin-filters

Example:

{% set filteredString='abcdef'|replace('a', 'b') %}

I'm not positive that this is the issue, but all the examples on the site seem to be of the form:

{{ value | filter arg1 arg2 }}

It looks like you're trying to use it in a {% %} section, which may not be supported.
