Want a command to be executed in Salt only if a directory is empty

0 votes

I have been trying to integrate the below stated command into a salt state:

mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr/ --ldata=/data/mysql/

but I want them to integrate only when either /data/mysql is empty or mysql contains no databases.

Can anyone help me with the above query please?

Thanks.

You should consider using this inside your state file to validate the existence of a path:

mysql_install_db:
  cmd.run: 
    - name: mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr/ --ldata=/data/mysql/
    - unless: file.path_exists_glob('/data/mysql/*')
If still issue persist then probably, the previous version of the state has some issues. Update the state based and it will resolve your issue.
