Statistics

Windows Changes

pkg <salt.modules.win_pkg> Execution Module`

Significate changes (PR #43708 & #45390, damon-atkins) have been made to the pkg execution module. Users should test this release against their existing package sls definition files.

  • pkg.list_available <salt.modules.win_pkg.list_available> no longer defaults to refreshing the winrepo meta database.
  • pkg.install <salt.modules.win_pkg.install> without a version parameter no longer upgrades software if the software is already installed. Use pkg.install version=latest (or simply use a pkg.latest <salt.states.pkg.latest> state to get the old behavior.
  • pkg.list_pkgs <salt.modules.win_pkg.list_pkgs> now returns multiple versions if software installed more than once.
  • pkg.list_pkgs <salt.modules.win_pkg.list_pkgs> now returns Not Found when the version is not found instead of (value not set) which matches the contents of the sls definitions.
  • pkg.remove <salt.modules.win_pkg.remove> will wait up to 3 seconds (normally about a second) to detect changes in the registry after removing software, improving reporting of version changes.
  • pkg.remove <salt.modules.win_pkg.remove> can remove latest software, if latest is defined in sls definition.
  • Documentation was update for the execution module to match the style in new versions, some corrections as well.
  • All install/remove commands are prefix with cmd.exe shell and cmdmod is called with a command line string instead of a list. Some sls files in saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng expected the commands to be prefixed with cmd.exe (i.e. the use of &).
  • Some execution module functions results, now behave more like their Unix/Linux versions.

cmd <salt.modules.cmdmod> Execution Module

Due to a difference in how Python's subprocess.Popen() spawns processes on Windows, passing the command as a list of arguments can result in problems. This is because Windows' CreateProcess requires the command to be passed as a single string. Therefore, subprocess will attempt to re-assemble the list of arguments into as string. Some escaped characters and quotes can cause the resulting string to be incorrectly-assembled, resulting in a failure to execute the command.

Salt now deals with these cases by joining the list of arguments correctly and ensuring that the command is passed to subprocess.Popen() as a string.
