How to use the win_service module in a state?

[Fredrik Averpil]

I’m trying to use the win_service module in my highstate, in order to make sure the service is configured properly.

I’ve created a custom package, which installs fine. The service is ensured to be running. But I’m getting “Module function win_service.config is not available” when trying to run the win_service module.

What am I doing wrong?

tractor-blade:
  pkg:
    - installed

Pixar Tractor Blade Service 2.2:
  service.running: []
  module.run:
    - name: win_service.config
    - m_name: Pixar Tractor Blade Service 2.2
    - display_name: Pixar Tractor Blade Service 2.2
    - obj: fredrik
    - password: secret

So, it seems win_service is not available in 2015.8.5, despite the docs.

Is there any documentation anywhere on how you can download this module from github and include it inside e.g. an 2015.8.5 install?

Regards,

Fredrik

Okay, for anyone traversing down the same road;

• Create /srv/salt/_modules
  
• Copy e.g. win_service.py from github into /srv/salt/_modules
  
• Execute: salt '*' saltutil.sync_modules
  
• Execute: salt '*' sys.list_functions (to verify)
  
• Possibly restart the salt master at some point

More info: https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/modules/

 

Cheers,

Hi,

I'd raise that as a bug. Or, are you sure, both minion and master are n 2015.8.5? Maybe the minion is not - version mismatch on master vs minion has caught out quite a few in the past. May be worth checking.
