Jinja variable 'dict' object has no attribute

[Luke Gracie]

I thought I was getting the hang of salt stack and the pillars, but I just can't get past this error. I'm sure I'm missing something simple and just can't see it. TIA for the assistance.

Hi Luke

I guess you're missing a dash before "gracie" in pillar/users/init.sls:

users:
  - gracie:
    fullname: Luke Gracie

since it's an array, is it?

Hello Juvenn,

Thank you for the quick reply. I thought I had tried that before, but with no luck. With that configuration I get this error:

    Data failed to compile:

----------

    Rendering SLS "base:users" failed: Jinja variable 'list' object has no attribute 'iteritems'; line 5

---

{% for user, userargs in pillar['users'].iteritems() %}    <======================

{{ user }}:

 user.present:

  - fullname: {{ userargs['fullname'] }}

{% endfor %}

In salt/users/init.sls, just before the for loop block, add the following -

{{ pillar['users']|pprint }}

... then run: salt servername state.show_highstate

That should force the SLS to render to output, pretty printing
pillar['users'] in the process, which may help shed some light.
Nothing will be executed.

I finally solved this:

I must have had extra hidden data in the mix or something odd like that. I started over with UtahDave's (saltsample_09252012_01) example and made one change at a time and tested as I went. 

This time everything worked fine... 

Thanks!

This does seem like it should be working.  I would use `salt '*' pillar.items --out=json` to double check that the data is in pillar looks correct, and if it does, then I would maybe make a dummy state that just templates the entire userargs dictionary into the file.  It will fail to compile the highstate, obviously, but if you check the debug logs you'll be able to see what the jinja results were, and see exactly what went wrong with that dictionary.

If you're still having issues, please file an issue on Github.

so I spent the last week working on my sls files and structure to install everything else I want in a base setup.

I setup the base centos install load the salt-minion and I'm ready to push everything with highstate...

{% for user, args in pillar['users'].iteritems() %}    <======================

{{ user }}:

  user.present:

    - home: {{ args['home'] }}

    - gid: {{ args['gid'] }}

{% if 'password' in args %}

I'm right back where I started.

If I run salt '*' pillar.items I don't see any of my user setup. I should see it, right?

[Colton Myers]

Yes, you should.  You should post your pillar files (obfuscating any sensitive data, of course) so we can see if we can spot what's going wrong.
