Unable to manage file: Jinja variable 'accumulator' is undefined

[Sven Ehret]

Hello List,

I am trying to get a hang with file.accumulated, but keep getting this error: “Unable to manage file: Jinja variable 'accumulator' is undefined”.

The execution log, however, clearly states that the accumulator had been “charged”:

What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks for reading! Best, Sven.

init.sls looks like this:

nrpe-backupchecks.ini:
  file:
    - managed
    - source: salt://win_nsclient/files/nrpe-backupchecks.ini
    - name: 'c:/program files/nsclient++/nsclient.d/nrpe-backupchecks.ini'
    - template: jinja
    - require:
      - file: nsclient.d

{% for backupcheck, args in pillar['nsclient-backups'].iteritems() %}
nrpe-backupchecks___{{ backupcheck }}:
  file:
    - accumulated
    - name: bakcmd
    - filename: 'C:/program files/NSclient++/nsclient.d/nrpe-backupchecks.ini'
    - text:
        {{ backupcheck}}=scripts\be-result-parser.exe -d "{{ args['logdir'] }}" -w{{ args['warning'] }} -c{{ args['critical'] }} -mt{{ args['mondaytolerance'] }} -r "{{ args['searchfilter'] }}"
    - require_in:
      - file: nrpe-backupchecks.ini
    - watch_in:
      - service: nscp
{% endfor %}

and the template file is like this:

[/settings/external scripts/scripts]
{% for line in accumulator['bakcmd'] %}

{{ line }}
{% endfor %}

At first glance this appears correct to me, though I've never actually used file.accumulated.  If no one else replies in the next little while, feel free to open up an issue on Github so we can investigate further.

I guess I am stressing it too hard by calling from within a loop.

Best, Sven.

Check that pillar['nsclient-backups'].iteritems() isn't empty. I had this message when I iterated over an empty list. We should consider creating an issue for this, because the error message is a little bit cryptic ;) It should probably say something like "No data were accumulated" or just insert nothing.
