These were intrinsically flawed since they only tested the merge
functions themselves, and not the rest of the state compiler. They have
been replaced by the tests in unit.modules.test_state.TopFileMergingCase.
This is failing because elsewhere in the test module the get_top()
member function returns None, but this is done in a highstate attribute
which is cleaned up in the tearDown and established as a fresh
salt.state.HighState instance in the setUp.
This makes the 2.x usage invalid syntax and forces the use of print as a
function. This adds the import to the files which I've updated in the
last couple of days but forgot to add it.
This updates the file state and execution modules to use
unicode_literals. Since the serializers and the cmd module are touched
by the file state/exec module, those are also updated here, as well as
the cmd state module, for good measure.
Additionally, I found that salt.utils.data.decode_dict (and decode_list)
are misnamed for what they actually do. Since they *encode* the
contents, the functions should be named encode_dict and encode_list,
respectively. And we also should have counterparts which actually
decode, so I've added them. The compatibility functions from salt.utils
still use the old "decode" names to preserve backward compatibility, but
they now invoke the renamed "encode" functions in salt.utils.data. Note
that this means that the compatibility functions
salt.utils.decode_dict/list, and their cognates in salt.utils.data now
do different things, but since the move to salt.utils.data is also
happening in the Oxygen release this is as good a time as any to correct
this oversight.
I've updated the jinja filter docs to include information on the renamed
jinja filters, and also added a section on jinja filter renaming to the
Oxygen release notes. There was another filter that I renamed during the
process of moving functions from salt.utils which I did not properly
document in the release notes, so this is now included along with the
others.
Some states are complicated and multiple subparts,
or maybe cross-call into __states__ if they manage subresources.
In these cases, they will have multiple comments.
Make this more ergonomic by supporting a list of strings as the
value for ret['comment'] in state returns and documenting this.
By joining comments on newlines, it is possible to combine
single-line and multi-line comments cleanly, as opposed to e.g. commas.
The driving impetus for this is some of the boto modules.
An update to the boto_sqs module is included as an example.
Add a check that outgoing state return data has the right shape,
and add a testcase as well.
Fix the NPM state tests and the saltmod runner & wheel state functions
to comply with the prescribed format.
