Pillar / config used

I didn't create pillar files for this test. However, this is /etc/salt/minion from my Raspberry Pi 4:

file_client: local
log_level: 'info'
log_level_logfile: 'info'
pillar_roots:
  base:
    - /srv/pillar
file_roots:
  base:
    - /srv/salt
    - /home/ubuntu/Documents/template-formula
use_superseded:
  - module.run

Bug details

Describe the bug

The following error message appear whenever I try to apply any state.sls states, such as TEMPLATE.config:

local:
    Data failed to compile:
----------
    Rendering SLS 'base:TEMPLATE.config.file' failed: Jinja variable 'opts' is undefined
/var/cache/salt/minion/files/base/TEMPLATE/libsaltcli.jinja(5):
---
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# vim: ft=jinja

{#- Get the relevant values from the `opts` dict #}
{%- set opts_cli = opts.get('__cli', '') %}    <======================
{%- set opts_masteropts_cli = opts | traverse('__master_opts__:__cli', '') %}

{#- Determine the type of salt command being run #}
{%- if opts_cli == 'salt-minion' %}
{%-   set cli = 'minion' %}
[...]
---

Steps to reproduce the bug

Use Raspberry Pi 4.

Clone this template:

git clone https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/template-formula.git

Add path to template-formula into your /etc/salt/minion.

Then, apply TEMPLATE.config:

sudo salt-call -l debug state.sls TEMPLATE.config

Expected behaviour

Error message Rendering SLS 'base:TEMPLATE.config.file' failed: Jinja variable 'opts' is undefined should not occur.

Attempts to fix the bug

I haven't done any attempts yet, but I think the problem comes from TEMPLATE/libmatchers.jinja?

@nikAizuddin Thanks for the report. You're hitting this issue here:

• https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/60188#issuecomment-844469528

I've linked directly to my comment with the workaround. We're waiting on a fix from the Salt team.

[nikAizuddin]

ah, i see. I have to downgrade jinja2 to version 2.11.3:

sudo python3 -m pip install jinja2==2.11.3

Thanks @myii . I'm closing this issue.
