salt.modules.test.arg_repr(*args, **kwargs)

Print out the data passed into the function *args and `kwargs, this is used to both test the publication data and cli argument passing, but also to display the information available within the publication data. Returns {"args": repr(args), "kwargs": repr(kwargs)}.

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.arg_repr 1 "two" 3.1 txt="hello" wow='{a: 1, b: "hello"}'

salt.modules.test.cross_test(func, args=None)

Execute a minion function via the __salt__ object in the test module, used to verify that the minion functions can be called via the __salt__ module.

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.cross_test file.gid_to_group 0

salt.modules.test.echo(text)

Return a string - used for testing the connection

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.echo 'foo bar baz quo qux'

Raise an exception

Optionally provide an error message or output the full stack.

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.exception 'Oh noes!'

salt.modules.test.false_()

Always return False

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.false

salt.modules.test.fib(num)

Return the num-th Fibonacci number, and the time it took to compute in seconds. Used for performance tests.

This function is designed to have terrible performance.

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.fib 3

salt.modules.test.get_opts()

Return the configuration options passed to this minion

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.get_opts

salt.modules.test.kwarg(**kwargs)

Print out the data passed into the function **kwargs, this is used to both test the publication data and cli kwarg passing, but also to display the information available within the publication data.

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.kwarg num=1 txt="two" env='{a: 1, b: "hello"}'

salt.modules.test.missing_func()

salt.modules.test.module_report()

Return a dict containing all of the execution modules with a report on the overall availability via different references

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.module_report

salt.modules.test.not_loaded()

List the modules that were not loaded by the salt loader system

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.not_loaded

salt.modules.test.opts_pkg()

Return an opts package with the grains and opts for this minion. This is primarily used to create the options used for master side state compiling routines

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.opts_pkg

salt.modules.test.outputter(data)

Test the outputter, pass in data to return

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.outputter foobar

salt.modules.test.ping()

Used to make sure the minion is up and responding. Not an ICMP ping.

Returns True.

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.ping

salt.modules.test.provider(module)

Pass in a function name to discover what provider is being used

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.provider service

salt.modules.test.providers()

Return a dict of the provider names and the files that provided them

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.providers

salt.modules.test.raise_exception(name, *args, **kwargs)

Raise an exception. Built-in exceptions and those in salt.exceptions can be raised by this test function. If no matching exception is found, then no exception will be raised and this function will return False.

This function is designed to test Salt's exception and return code handling.

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.raise_exception TypeError "An integer is required"
salt '*' test.raise_exception salt.exceptions.CommandExecutionError "Something went wrong"

salt.modules.test.rand_sleep(max=60)

Sleep for a random number of seconds, used to test long-running commands and minions returning at differing intervals

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.rand_sleep 60

salt.modules.test.random_hash(size=9999999999, hash_type=None)

New in version 2015.5.2.

Changed in version 2018.3.0: Function has been renamed from test.rand_str to test.random_hash

Generates a random number between 1 and size, then returns a hash of that number. If no hash_type is passed, the hash_type specified by the minion's hash_type config option is used.

CLI Example:

salt '*' test.random_hash

salt '*' test.true

salt.modules.test.try_(module, return_try_exception=False, **kwargs)

Try to run a module command. On an exception return None. If return_try_exception is set True return the exception. This can be helpful in templates where running a module might fail as expected.

CLI Example:

<pre>
{% for i in range(0,230) %}
