Range in Jinja in statefiles?

[J C Lawrence]

Shouldn't "range" work in a Jinja in a statefile?

{% range ndx from 1 to 3 %}
qa-mesh-{{ ndx }}:
cloud.present:
- name: qa-mesh-{{ ndx }}
- provider: qa
- image: ami-c30360aa
- size: m3.xlarge
- ssh_username: ubuntu
- rename_on_destroy: True
- delvol_on_destroy: True
- block_qaice_mappings:
- DeviceName: /dev/xvdb
VirtualName: ephemeral0
{% endrange %}

But no:

[CRITICAL] Rendering SLS "base:env_qa" failed: Jinja syntax error:
Encountered unknown tag 'range'.; line 31

Try

{% for ndx in range(1,3) %}
...
{% endfor %}

[David Anderson]

Actually, should be range(1,4)

Yeah, and that's much like what I ended up doing, but surely a Jinja
template should support Jinja features like Range? Principle of least
surprise and all that.
