use variable in if statement

[Brian]

Hi,

This thing has been bugging for quite sometime. I am not able to use a variable in my if statement in a state file. if statement can't seem to see the value of the variable '{{ syslog_server }}'

Example:

## syslog.sls ##

{% set syslog_server = '<minion id>' %}

{% if grains['id'] == '{{ syslog_server }}' %}

rsyslog:

  pkg.latest:

    - skip_verify: True

  service.running:

    - enable: True

{% else %}

syslog-ng:

  pkg.latest:

    - skip_verify: True

  service.running:

    - enable: True

{% endif %}

Did you try this?

{% if grains['id'] == syslog_server %}

I have tried different approaches, with {{ app_name }} and 'app_name' ....

not working example:

test.sls

{% set app_name = 'ad-center-tools' %}

{% if salt['cmd.run']("ls -lt /home/app_name-user/app_name 2>/dev/null| wc -l") != "0" %}

output:

 cmd.run:

     - names:

       - echo "Rollback directory {{ app_name }}"

     - cwd: /root

{% else %}

error_output:

 cmd.run:

     - names:

       - echo "This is the last directory. Can't remove {{ app_name }}"

     - cwd: /root

{% endif  %}

If I understand correctly, you're expecting something like this, there:

{% if salt['cmd.run']("ls -lt /home/ad-center-tools-user/ad-center-tools 2>/dev/null| wc -l") != "0" %}

If that's the case, you could try something like this (Jinja concatenation):

{% if salt['cmd.run']("ls -lt /home/" ~ app_name ~ "-user/" ~ app_name ~ " 2>/dev/null| wc -l") != "0" %}

The `~` operator is documented here: http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/templates/#other-operators

There is no 'names' arg for cmd.run. Change to 'name':

...
output:
cmd.run:
- name: echo "Rollback directory {{ app_name }}"
- cwd: /root
...
error_output:
cmd.run:
- name: "This is the last directory. Can't remove {{ app_name }}"
- cwd: /root
...

It works :)

I am curious to know Where you have found answer?

I just want to understand salt in deep.

Thanks!

Actually, there is -
http://docs.saltstack.com/ref/states/highstate.html#term-names-declaration

It is a shortcut to apply the same state definition to multiple states
with different 'name' vallues.

Short question,

any ideas why I receive the following error if I want to concat the pillar values with ~?

Rendering SLS  ... failed: Jinja syntax error: unexpected '~'; line 12

{% set tibcohomepath = salt['pillar.get']('TIBCO_HOME_PATH') %}

{% set tibcodomainname = salt['pillar.get']('TIBCO_DOMAIN_NAME') %}

{% if salt['file.file_exists'](~ tibcohomepath ~ "\administrator\domain\" ~ tibcodomainname ~ "\bin\tibcoadmin_" ~ tibcodomainname ~ ".exe") == true %}
[...]
{% endif %}

My pillars are:

TIBCO_HOME_PATH: C:\tibco

TIBCO_DOMAIN_NAME: TIBCO_TEST

Thank you!

[Florian Ermisch]

Probably b/c you're trying to concat the '(' with 'tibcohomepath'.

Regards, Florian

The following code solved my issue with the variables:

{% set tibcohomepath = salt['pillar.get']('TIBCO_HOME_PATH') %}
{% set tibcodomainname = salt['pillar.get']('TIBCO_DOMAIN_NAME') %}

{% if salt['file.file_exists'](pillar['TIBCO_HOME_PATH'] + "/administrator/domain/" + pillar['TIBCO_DOMAIN_NAME'] + "/bin/tibcoadmin_" + pillar['TIBCO_DOMAIN_NAME'] + ".exe") %}
...
...
{% endif %}

Thanks!

[Arnold Bechtoldt]

{% set tibcohomepath = salt['pillar.get']('TIBCO_HOME_PATH') %}
{% set tibcodomainname = salt['pillar.get']('TIBCO_DOMAIN_NAME') %}

{% set myfilepath = tibcohomepath ~ '/administrator/domain/' ~
tibcodomainname ~ '/bin/tibcoadmin_' ~ tibcodomainname ~ '.exe' %}

{% if salt['file.file_exists'](myfilepath) %}
{% endif %}


RTFM should have helped.
