Can't use tpldir or slspath in template file #41195
Description
Can't use tpldir or slspath in template file
I want to load defaults with construction like this
{%- import_yaml slspath ~ "/defaults.yaml" as defaults %}
Which work flawless in sls state file. But fails in template file. On #salt IRC channel I received a recommendation to use 'tpldir' variable instead, but it doesn't work as well.
Setup
init.sls
{%- import_yaml slspath ~ "/defaults.yaml" as defaults %}
config:
file.managed:
- name: "/tmp/test.cfg"
- source: salt://{{ slspath }}/test.cfg.jinja
- template: jinja
test.cfg.jinja
{%- import_yaml tpldir ~ "/defaults.yaml" as defaults %}
opt1 = var1
opt2 = var2
With setup like this I receive error:
ID: config
Function: file.managed
Name: /tmp/test.cfg
Result: False
