salt.states.test.check_pillar(name, present=None, boolean=None, integer=None, string=None, listing=None, dictionary=None, verbose=False)¶

Checks the presence and, optionally, the type of given keys in Pillar

Supported kwargs for types are: - boolean (bool) - integer (int) - string (str) - listing (list) - dictionary (dict)

Checking for None type pillars is not implemented yet.

salt.states.test.configurable_test_state(name, changes=True, result=True, comment='', warnings=None)¶

New in version 2014.7.0.

A configurable test state which allows for more control over the return data

name

A unique string to serve as the state's ID

changesTrue

Controls whether or not the state reports that there were changes. There are three supported values for this argument:

• If True, the state will report changes

• If False, the state will report no changes

• If "Random", the state will randomly report either changes or no changes.

resultTrue

Controls the result for for the state. Like changes, there are three supported values for this argument:

• If True, the state will report a True result

• If False, the state will report a False result

• If "Random", the state will randomly report either True

Note

The result will be reported as None if all of the following are true:

1. The state is being run in test mode (i.e. test=True on the CLI)

2. result is True (either explicitly, or via being set to "Random")

3. changes is True (either explicitly, or via being set to "Random")
