salt stack `os:...` pattern not matching in top.sls

  • 772

I'm attempting to differentiate between a Ubuntu box and an Arch box within my top.sls file within a Virtualbox 5.0.4 virtual machine managed by vagrant 1.7.4 using salt 2015.8.1 (Beryllium)

This doesn't work:

base:
    'os:Arch':
        - base.arch

This does work:

base:
    {% if grains['os'] == 'Arch' %}
    '*':
        - base.arch
    {% endif %}

Excerpt from salt-call grains.items:

os:
    Arch
os_family:
    Arch
osarch:
    x86_64
oscodename:
osfullname:
    Arch Linux
osrelease:

Does anyone have any insight?

    This should work:

    base:
  'os:Arch':
    - match: grain
    - base.arch
