Description
calling
{% if salt['pillar.file_exists']('test') %}
always fails. Just changing it to
{% if salt['pillar.file_exists']('test/init.sls') %}
works as expected (as long as test/init.sls is there, even if empty).
Setup
From /srv/pillar:
- top.sls (working version):
{% set dom=grains['domain']|replace('.', '_') %}
{% set hostbase = "{0}_{1}".format(grains['host'], dom) %}
base:
'*':
- default
{% if salt['pillar.file_exists']('hostdata/'+hostbase+'.sls') %}
- hostdata.{{hostbase}}
{% endif %}
{% if salt['pillar.file_exists'](dom+'/init.sls') %}
'*.{{ grains['domain'] }}':
- {{ dom }} # init.sls contains the domain defaults
{% if salt['pillar.file_exists']("{0}/{1}".format(dom,grains['host'])+'.sls') %}
- {{ dom }}.{{ grains['host'] }} # Host-specific pillars
{% endif %}
{% endif %}
- hostdata/host_domain_name_tld.sls : generic pillar data for host
- domain_name_tld/ : pillar data for hosts in domain.name.tld
- domain_name_tld/host.sls : pillar data for host.domain.name.tld
Steps to Reproduce the behavior
salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar && salt ctl\* pillar.items
does not show items in domain_name_tld/host.sls since the first if fails when testing the directory. If, like in the snippet above, I test for init.sls, it works as expected.
Expected behavior
pillar.file_exists should treat a directory like a file and return true if it exists. Alternatively, there should be a pillar.directory_exists function (and a notice in the docs, maybe).
