Assigning output of a curl command as a Jinja variable?

[Varunn M]

Hi,

Can someone please shed some light on the issue below.

I am creating a salt state in which I want to set a jinja variable which is the output of a cmd.run command.

A snippet of my code looks like this:

{%- set interface = 'eth0' -%}
{%- set ipaddress= salt['network.interface_ip'](interface) -%}
{%- set var1= salt['cmd.run']("curl http://{{ ipaddress }}/some/url/path") -%}

get-variable:
  cmd:
    - run
    - name: 'curl -X POST http://{{ ipaddress }}/somepath/ -d create=yes&variable={{ var1 }}'

Here the variable ipaddress is resolved but the variable var1 is not.

Also, when running this command from master, I am getting the desired result.

salt minion cmd.run 'curl -sL http://x.y.z.a/some/url/path'
minion:
    a12bcd3e-1234-1aa1-qwer-12a345b567c8

Any inputs?

Cheers,

V

{%- set var1= salt['cmd.run']("curl http://" ~ {{ ipaddress }} ~
"/some/url/path") -%}

or (what I like);

{%- set var1 = salt.cmd.run('curl http://' ~ {{ ipaddress }} ~
'/some/url/path') %}

Hi Onno,

Thanks for the prompt response,one thing I missed is post the ipaddress I am also entering a port and I am still getting an error:

minion1:

    Data failed to compile:

----------

    Rendering SLS 'base:state' failed: Jinja syntax error: expected token 'colon', got '}'; line 4

---

{%- set interface = 'eth0' -%}

{%- set addr = salt['network.interface_ip'](interface) -%}

{%- set var1 = salt.cmd.run('curl http://' ~ {{ ipaddress }} ~ ':8080/some/path') %}    <======================

Cheers,

Shame on me...

{%- set var1 = salt.cmd.run('curl http://' ~ ipaddress ~
':8080/some/path') %}

@Onno, anything else I can try?

[Thomas Phipps]

{%- set var1= salt.http.query("http://" ~ ipaddress ~ "/some/url/path")['body'] -%}

Thanks @Onno,

This works perfectly: {%- set var1 = salt.cmd.run('curl http://' ~ ipaddress ~ ':8080/some/path') %} 

@Thomas : Have noted the option you gave too. Many Thanks.

Cheers,
