Occasionaly during highstate i got error (it looks like it occur on random machine with random time):

Any ideas what is wrong ?

rallytime commented 9 years ago

@msciciel Hmm...Any other information you can provide? You say it only happens occasionally and on different boxes each time? Any similarities between these boxes? And only when you run state.highstate? Any other configs you've changed?

@basepi or @jfindlay or @cachedout Any of you heard of anything similar to this lately?

jfindlay commented 9 years ago

I think this is a duplicate of #20777. See also, https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/18729#issuecomment-66640876.

msciciel commented 9 years ago

It looks random. I have check of last highstate run and it raports this error. I do not run highstate manually. If check report that error occured and then i login into machine and run highstate then it's always ok. It's happens always on few boxes from 1600.

20777 - my master is in 2014.7.1 version

18729 - in my case minions are not stuck in this state

Is this related to pillar data or maybe formulas ? I have pillar data updated from git repo with 5 minutes interval.

I am getting these errors, too. It seems mostly random. I have been commenting out things from my highstate to try to determine what could be happening.

It does NOT occur if I run state.highstate on one single minion. I also have NOT seen it occur if I don't use any formulas. However, if I have any formulas active, and if I am calling state.highstate on two or more minions, I often (not always) see the error on the first one, or several, minions, and the last one, or several, minions completes successfully.

I am now seeing the same error when I run state.highstate with just one minion--it just seems less frequent.

cachedout commented 9 years ago

After reviewing the code in the about-to-be-released update to 2014.7, I believe this issue has been resolved. I am marking his as Fixed Pending Verification until somebody can verify a fix in the next release.

gcamus commented 9 years ago

I am getting the same error too on versions 2014.7.2 or 2015.0.2rc1 but i think i find a workaround to set the saltenv on every command even if for base.

I remark that the problem appears when GitFs and ext_pillar git are activated and some branches exist on repositories

For exemple : salt '*' state.highstate saltenv=base

msciciel commented 9 years ago

I have ext pillar disabled and error sometimes occurs.

wwentland commented 9 years ago

We are seeing this all the time ever since we upgraded to 2014.7.2, quite annoying

basepi commented 9 years ago

2014.7.4 has been tagged and we're just waiting on packagers. If someone wants to install from source or pip in the meantime and see if this is resolved, that would be lovely. Otherwise we'll wait until the official announcement.

PitrJ commented 9 years ago

I am trying to solve this issue as well. I made a state that basically just did a file.manged and nothing more. From a client I did the following:

while [ $? == 0 ] ; do  salt-call -l debug state.sls testing/pieter; done

All went fine the first 14 times, after that it broke:

gcamus commented 9 years ago

I think the problem is really due to GitFS and list of env issue. If you enable GitFS and you have multiple repos you have to create same branches on all your git repos or else use master conf (See below example) :

gitfs_env_blacklist:
  - release*

gitfs_env_whitelist:
  - base
  - bamboo

If you want you can check all declared GitFS envs names in file : /var/cache/salt/master/gitfs/envs.p

PitrJ commented 9 years ago

We are using 1 repo as gitfs_remote.

PitrJ commented 9 years ago

Running the same loop with saltenv=base did not solve the problem. Still broke after about 20 cycles.

rallytime commented 9 years ago

@PitrJ It looks like you're on 2014.7.2, where we had some gitfs regressions. These have now been fixed in 2014.7.4, which was recently tagged and is now in the packaging stage. I'd recommend giving that tag a try, if you're able. If not, please let us know if you still hit this issue once the packages for 2014.7.4 are available and you've had a chance to retest.

wwentland commented 9 years ago

@rallytime Which particular issue are you referring to and in which commit was it fixed? Given that .4 won't make it into the repositories for some time I might consider building and distributing a locally maintained version or fix it in whatever way is appropriate, but for that I'd need to know more details.

rallytime commented 9 years ago

@babilen Unfortunately, I don't have a particular commit or pull request number offhand. I was going off of @cachedout's comment above about reviewing the code and marking this as fixed pending verification.

I think really we are just wondering if someone can test this on 2014.7.4, where the tag (v2014.7.4) is pushed to the saltstack repo, or on packages once they come out. We'll certainly leave this open until we have confirmed that this was fixed, or revisit it if more work needs to be done.

wwentland commented 9 years ago

@rallytime That's perfectly fine. I might have just given it a try if it had boiled down to a simple patch that I can test easily. It's just that I haven't immediately seen something related while glimpsing over the git log and was curious.

MrMarvin commented 9 years ago

From the piece of code I looked at I believe that the issue is master side only. I upgraded our master to git v2014.7.4. It now runs

The minions however are still running 2014.7.2 from ubuntu trusty repos.

For me the issue is still there.

And yes, our setup uses multiple gitpython based gitfs repos, some with a non-default branch. Just to make sure we are talking about the same error here.

andrew-vant commented 9 years ago

I have this on 2014.7.2 as well. It is intermittent, and the trace usually seems to get come from within a defaults.get call. (possibly pillar.get as well, I am unsure)

I will re-test when the next package is available.

rallytime commented 9 years ago

Thanks very much for testing this on a newer version @MrMarvin. I'll remove the fixed pending verification label.

MrMarvin commented 9 years ago

Actually... after upgrading both master and most of our minions to 2014.7.4 I do not see this issue any more. Be aware that is isn't reliable to reproduce though.

Anyone else with this finding?

wwentland commented 9 years ago

If somebody knows what exactly causes this I would be greatful as I would love to roll out a fix for .2 so that we can start using salt again in our infrastructure.

furbaez commented 9 years ago

Wait this was fixed or not?

luitzifa commented 9 years ago

We experience this bug too and we do NOT use gitfs. But it seems related to git.latest. While highstate we deploy same stuff for ~28 users in a row and then it just happens right after a git.latest state. And then every file.managed I made several runs, the user changes but its everytime after git.latest.

I'd suggest to add the Fixed Pending Verification label again and wait for some other confirmation if this is fixed in 2014.7.4. My first negative findings were inaccurate and it may be in fact fixed.

clinta commented 9 years ago

If I could get some packages of 2014.7.4 in the salt testing ppa, I'd be happy to test. I see this issue every day. But I don't want to deploy pip throughout my environment to test the newer version.

joehealy commented 9 years ago

packages going to salt testing ppa now

clinta commented 9 years ago

Thanks. Been testing for a few hours as I develop and push states and haven't seen the issue since upgrading. I'll update if I see it again.

rallytime commented 9 years ago

Thanks again for the updates here everyone. We should be announcing 2014.7.4 officially here (likely today) and the packages will roll out from testing repos to stable in the coming days. I'll add the fixed-pending verification label as suggested, and if people do still see this again after upgrading, do let us know.

Thanks again!

andrew-vant commented 9 years ago

Datapoint: The 2014.7.4 package is now available from whatever repo I'm pointed to, and after upgrading both my master and my minions, I no longer have this problem.

wwentland commented 9 years ago

So far we haven't seen it either after upgrading to .4.

luitzifa commented 9 years ago

2014.7.4 works fine, thank you very much!

rallytime commented 9 years ago

Awesome! Thanks for testing this everyone! With at least 4 confirmations that this has been fixed, I feel comfortable closing this issue. If this pops up again after upgrading to 2014.7.4, please leave a comment and we can re-address the issue.

romlok commented 9 years ago

I just encountered this error message as well, running under 2014.7.4. I believe the cause of my troubles was different to the original problem, but the issue title is the error message, so I'm posting my experience here for future reference.

TL;DR: If you see this error, check file permissions.


Running salt-call state.sls postgres.installed:

However, when I removed template: jinja from the state, the error changed to:

Source file salt://postgres/pg_hba.conf.jinja not found

So, after close inspection of the filenames, and much copy & pasting of paths, I discovered that it was actually the file permissions of /srv/salt/postgres/pg_hba.conf.jinja which didn't allow the salt master access to the file...


So I guess the ultimate upshot here is that the core issue behind this ticket has not really been remedied, which is: Whatever is triggering this particular error message needs to be more careful about not masking other more useful error messages.

jfindlay commented 9 years ago

@raumkraut, thanks for the report. I'll be looking into this.

cachedout commented 9 years ago

I can reproduce this by establishing a ZMQ channel to the master and then bringing down the master and then bringing it back up. After doing so, all calls to the channel's send method will return an empty string, since the channel no longer has the right AES key. This is fixed in #23154

msciciel commented 9 years ago

Any progress with fix ?

rallytime commented 9 years ago

@msciciel Does the pull request mentioned above resolve this issue for you?

msciciel commented 9 years ago

Is 2014.7.5 or 2015.5.0 fixed version ?

rallytime commented 9 years ago

@msciciel It look like the fix didn't make it into an official release yet. The pull request was merged in 2015.5 right after we cut 2015.5.2. Therefore, the fix will be available when 2015.5.3 is released.

We can definitely keep this open until you've had a chance to test it.

msciciel commented 9 years ago

Ok. I'll verify after release of 2015.5.3. I saw today that problem still exists.

yermulnik commented 9 years ago

Similar error appeared in archive.extracted after upgrading Salt to 2015.5.3

How can this be fixed? It breaks our deployment system! =(

rallytime commented 9 years ago

@yermulnik Do you have a similar stacktrace as the others in this thread? Or is this specifically only happening when using an archive.extracted state? I am just trying ascertain if this is the same bug or one more specific to the state you're running.

yermulnik commented 9 years ago

That's only what I get. No stacktrace. I've encountered it only when using archive.extracted.

rallytime commented 9 years ago

@yermulnik Does it happen each time you run the state, or only intermittently? If it's consistently failing each time, it might be a different bug. If not, then something is still amiss here.

yermulnik commented 9 years ago

Yes, it happens each time I run the state. And it appeared since I had upgraded to 2015.5.3 yesterday. I don't know if it's a different bug. I searched for the "string indices must be integers, not str" error and found 2 issues: this one and https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/21799 - so I decided to ask for help here and there. Should I create new issue to not confuse similar but not same issues?

rallytime commented 9 years ago

@yermulnik Would you mind opening a new one? That sounds different to me than these other ones and that way we can get some more eyes on it. Thanks!
