Pillar jinja error on iteritems

0 votes

I was trying to use the iterations via piller data and jinja template.  I am using most of the template from a working salt/pillar installation. But now its failing to work in new environment.

I have tried several different syntaxes with the implementation of the iteration but still get same error.

Rendering SLS 'base:pillar_lab_user' failed: Jinja variable 'str object' 

Jinja Template

{% set users = salt['pillar.get']('XXXXXXX') %}
{% for user, args in users.iteritems() %}
{{ user }}:
  user.present:
    - fullname: {{ args.fullname }}
    - uid: {{ args.uid }}
    - gid_from_name: True
    - shell: {{ args.shell }}
{% if not args.empty_password == true %}
    - password: {{ args.password }}
{% else %}
    - empty_password: {{ args.empty_password }}
{% endif %}
{% if 'groups' in args %}
    - groups: {{ args['groups'] }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}

Pillar Data

users:

  user1:
    fullname: User1 Fullname
    uid: 951
    gid: 951
    shell: /bin/bash
    groups:
      - sudo
      - admin
    password: (REMOVED)
    pub_ssh_keys: (REMOVED)
  user2:
    fullname: User2 Fullname
    uid: 955
    gid: 955
    shell: /bin/bash
    groups:
     - sudo
     - admin
    password: (REMOVED)
    pub_ssh_keys: (REMOVED)

Your data should fail with :
Rendering SLS 'base:so' failed: Jinja variable 'dict object' has no attribute 'empty_password'

The error that you’re seeing is probably because of non-existing pillar data.

You've pasted full pillar data but left XXXXXXX in state file.

Try using this

{% set users = salt['pillar.get']('users') %}

Or

check if you use pillarenv, then remember to pass the correct one, you can simply verify this in command line:

salt 'your minion' pillar.get users

If it doesn't return your dictionary then try:

salt 'your minion' pillar.get users pillarenv=your_pillar_env

or

It could be a user the pillar configuration was not formed properly

Removed the first line "{% set users = salt['pillar.get']('XXXXXXX') %}" 

It wont use pillar.get

This should work fine
