Re: [salt-users] Using values from different pillar environment in a state

[Phipps, Thomas]

the minion only keeps one copy of the pillar in memory.

https://docs.saltproject.io/en/3006/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.pillar.html#salt.modules.pillar.get see pillarenv

I will note that this will ask for a fresh copy of the pillar with every SWITCH in env ... and this can be VERY slow and can trash your masters communication if you often switch between envs.

so it is possible. just not wise.

Hi,

I have the following folder structure in my pillar
pillar:
  cut:
    my_test:
      init.sls
  dev:
    my_test:
      init.sls

and i want to use in my state variables from the both (cut a dev) environments.
Something like:

create_file:
  file.managed:
    - name: [salt['pillar.get']([saltenv, 'my_test', 'path']|join(':')), 'file_name']|join('/')

Is it possible to do? Is it possible assign environment names dynamically?
