failed: Jinja variable 'list object' has no attribute 'iteritems'

[schlag]

Hi,

I have a pillar dictionary that I am trying to iterate through with a state, but keep getting the following error:

local:

    Data failed to compile:

----------

    Rendering SLS "base:states.web.django-sites.pip" failed: Jinja variable 'list object' has no attribute 'iteritems'; line 15

---

[...]

{{ pippkg }} pip for django site {{ site }}:

  pip.installed:

    - name:     {{ pippkg }}

      {% if pipargs['require'] is defined %}

    - require:

        {% for type, req in pipargs['require'].iteritems() %}    <======================

      - '{{ type }}':      '{{ req }}'

        {% endfor %}

      {% endif %}

    {% endfor %}

  {% endif %}

[...]

The pillar dict looks like this:  http://pastebin.com/2b8tqueL    I've tried removing the dashes for the 'pkg' and 'file' lines, but that just results in conflicting ID errors (eg. Conflicting ID "pkg").

My state looks like this:  http://pastebin.com/pAQ58a4d

I've run it through http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/ which comes back with no errors, and seemingly correct, i think.  http://bit.ly/1hvSqWd

Thanks in advance

Right, so the problem here is that it's being compiled into a list of dicts.  If you use `salt '*' pillar.items --out=json` you can see it more clearly.  So you can't use iteritems, because it's a list.  You have to iterate over the list, and then for each item in the list (each of which is a dictionary with a single key) you have to pull out the key/value pair and use it.

Does that make sense?

Hm, I think I follow..  I do see what you mean using '--out=json'.   One thing I thought might work was to remove 'iteritems' in favor of iterating through the list and use 'split' to split up the key/value pair, but this gives me a "has no attribute 'split'" error.   Am I even on the right track?

      {%- if 'require' in fileargs %}

    - require:

        {%- for line in fileargs['require'].split() %}

      - {{ line[1] }}:    {{ line[2] }}

        {%- endfor %}

      {%- endif %}

I'll keep digging to try to understand this.  Thank you!

even easier, i tossed split and did this, which seemed to work well:

      {%- if 'require' in fileargs %}

    - require:

        {%- for line in fileargs['require'] %}

      - {{ line }}

        {%- endfor %}

      {%- endif %}

thanks again!

Make sure you have a space after ":" in your pillar sls, otherwise it will be rendered as a list, instead of a dictionary : 

This is rendered as a list :

users:

  john:1000

  smith:1001

  salt salt # salt '*' pillar.items |grep -A 5 users

    users:

        john:1000 smith:1001

salt salt # 

Now, if you add a space after " : ", you will get a dictionary : 

salt salt # salt '*' pillar.items |grep -A 5 users

    users:

        ----------

        john:

            1000

        smith:

            1001

salt salt #

And your code should work after it's rendered as a dictionary : 

{% for user, uid in pillar.get('users', {}).items() %}

{{user}}:

  user.present:

    - uid: {{uid}}

{% endfor %}

Hope this helps
