Salt 3000 Release Notes - Codename Neon
=======================================

Security Advisory
=================

For historical reasons, Salt requires PyCrypto as a "lowest common
denominator". However, `PyCrypto is unmaintained`_ and best practice is to
manually upgrade to use a more maintained library such as `PyCryptodome`_. See
`Issue #52674`_ and `Issue #54115`_ for more info

New Versioning
==============
The neon release has removed the date versioning. Going forward we will
use a non-date based version schema beginning at 3000. The version will
be MAJOR.PATCH. For a planned release containing features and/or bug fixes
the MAJOR version will be incremented. Please review the approved
`SEP <https://github.com/saltstack/salt-enhancement-proposals/pull/20>`_
for further details.

The new versioning scheme is PEP 440 compliant, but distutils.StrictVersion
will result in an error ``invalid version number``. If using StrictVersion to
compare Salt's versions, please use LooseVersion. There is also the packaging
library you can use to compare versions. Another alternative is using the
:py:func:`salt version module<salt.modules.salt_version>`

Python 3.8 Not Supported
==========================
Please note that running Salt with Python 3.8 is currently not supported.
It is recommended to not use a version higher than 3.7.

Vendored Tornado Code Base
==========================

The Tornado code base has been included as ``salt.ext.tornado``. This was done
to provide a consistent version of Tornado across all operating systems while
we continue to work on upgrading Tornado to a recent version. New code that
uses Tornado should import the module from ``salt.ext.tornado`` instead of
importing the system version of Tornado.

Msgpack 1.0.0rc1 Incompatibility
================================
Salt is currently incompatible with mgspack 1.0.0rc1. We recommend using
versions < 1.0.0 . This impacts the Salt Master's ability to run commands
against minions. Please see `Issue 56007 <https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/56007>`_
for more details and updates.


Pip Installing Salt On Windows
==============================

This release will not install correctly on windows when using pip to install salt.
This issue is addressed in `PR 56099 <https://github.com/saltstack/salt/pull/56099>`_.
The workaround for this issue is:

.. code-block:: text

   pip install "pywin32==224" "WMI==1.4.9"


Those using the Salt Windows Installer are not affected by this issue.


Saltcheck Updates
=================

Available since 2018.3, the :py:func:`saltcheck module <salt.modules.saltcheck>`
has been enhanced to:

* Support saltenv environments
* Associate tests with states by naming convention
* Adds report_highstate_tests function
* Adds empty and notempty assertions
* Adds skip keyword
* Adds print_result keyword
* Adds assertion_section keyword
* Use saltcheck.state_apply to run state.apply for test setup or teardown
* Changes output to display test time
* Works with salt-ssh

Saltcheck provides unittest like functionality requiring only the knowledge of
salt module execution and yaml. Saltcheck uses salt modules to return data, then
runs an assertion against that return. This allows for testing with all the
features included in salt modules.

In order to run state and highstate saltcheck tests, a sub-folder in the state directory
must be created and named ``saltcheck-tests``. Tests for a state should be created in files
ending in ``*.tst`` and placed in the ``saltcheck-tests`` folder. ``tst`` files are run
through the salt rendering system, enabling tests to be written in yaml (or renderer of choice),
and include jinja, as well as the usual grain and pillar information. Like states, multiple tests can
be specified in a ``tst`` file. Multiple ``tst`` files can be created in the ``saltcheck-tests``
folder, and should be named the same as the associated state. The ``id`` of a test works in the
same manner as in salt state files and should be unique and descriptive.

Usage
-----

Example file system layout:

.. code-block:: text

    /srv/salt/apache/
        init.sls
        config.sls
        saltcheck-tests/
            init.tst
            config.tst
            deployment_validation.tst

Tests can be run for each state by name, for all ``apache/saltcheck/*.tst`` files,
or for all states assigned to the minion in top.sls. Tests may also be created
with no associated state. These tests will be run through the use of
``saltcheck.run_state_tests``, but will not be automatically run by
``saltcheck.run_highstate_tests``.

.. code-block:: bash

    salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache,apache.config
    salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache check_all=True
    salt '*' saltcheck.run_highstate_tests
    salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache.deployment_validation

Example Tests
-------------

.. code-block:: jinja

    {# will run the common salt state before further testing #}
    setup_test_environment:
      module_and_function: saltcheck.state_apply
      args:
        - common
      pillar-data:
        data: value

    {% for package in ["apache2", "openssh"] %}
    {# or another example #}
    {# for package in salt['pillar.get']("packages") #}
    jinja_test_{{ package }}_latest:
      module_and_function: pkg.upgrade_available
      args:
        - {{ package }}
      assertion: assertFalse
    {% endfor %}

    validate_user_present_and_shell:
      module_and_function: user.info
      args:
        - root
      assertion: assertEqual
      expected-return: /bin/bash
      assertion_section: shell
      print_result: False

    skip_test:
      module_and_function: pkg.upgrade_available
      args:
        - apache2
      assertion: assertFalse
      skip: True

Output Format Changes
---------------------

Saltcheck output has been enhanced to display the time taken per test. This results
in a change to the output format.

Previous Output:

.. code-block:: text

              0


Unless and onlyif Enhancements
==============================

The ``unless`` and ``onlyif`` requisites can now be operated with salt modules.
The dictionary must contain an argument ``fun`` which is the module that is
being run, and everything else must be passed in under the args key or will be
passed as individual kwargs to the module function.

.. note::

  Certain states have an ``unless``/``onlyif`` implementation that predates this feature, and may not work as expected:

  * states.git
  * states.cmd
  * states.macpackage
  * states.file
  * states.docker_container

Examples:

.. code-block:: yaml

  check external ip address:
    http.query:
      - name: https://icanhazip.com
      - status: 200
      - onlyif:
        - fun: file.file_exists
          path: /usr/local/bin/whatever

is equivalent to

.. code-block:: yaml

  check another ip address:
    http.query:
      - name: https://icanhazip.com
      - status: 200
      - onlyif:
        - test -f /tmp/fnord.txt

Another example:

.. code-block:: yaml

  set mysql root password:
    debconf.set:
      - name: mysql-server-5.7
      - data:
          'mysql-server/root_password': {'type': 'password', 'value': {{pillar['mysql.pass']}} }
      - unless:
        - fun: pkg.version
          args:
            - mysql-server-5.7

Keystore State and Module
=========================

A new :py:func:`state <salt.states.keystore>` and
:py:func:`execution module <salt.modules.keystore>` for manaing Java
Keystore files is now included. It allows for adding/removing/listing
as well as managing keystore files.

.. code-block:: bash

  # salt-call keystore.list /path/to/keystore.jks changeit
  local:
    |_
      ----------
      alias:
          hostname1
      expired:
          True
      sha1:
          CB:5E:DE:50:57:99:51:87:8E:2E:67:13:C5:3B:E9:38:EB:23:7E:40
      type:
          TrustedCertEntry
      valid_start:
          August 22 2012
      valid_until:
          August 21 2017

.. code-block:: yaml

  define_keystore:
    keystore.managed:
      - name: /tmp/statestore.jks
      - passphrase: changeit
      - force_remove: True
      - entries:
        - alias: hostname1
          certificate: /tmp/testcert.crt
        - alias: remotehost
          certificate: /tmp/512.cert
          private_key: /tmp/512.key
        - alias: stringhost
          certificate: |
            -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
            MIICEjCCAX
            Hn+GmxZA
            -----END CERTIFICATE-----

XML Module
==========

A new state and execution module for editing XML files is now included. Currently it allows for
editing values from an xpath query, or editing XML IDs.

.. code-block:: bash

  # salt-call xml.set_attribute /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='3']" editedby "Jane Doe"
  local:
      True
  # salt-call xml.get_attribute /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='3']"
  local:
      ----------
      editedby:
          Jane Doe
      id:
          3
  # salt-call xml.get_value /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='2']"
  local:
      Liam Neeson
  # salt-call xml.set_value /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='2']" "Patrick Stewart"
  local:
      True
  # salt-call xml.get_value /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='2']"
  local:
      Patrick Stewart

.. code-block:: yaml

    ensure_value_true:
      xml.value_present:
        - name: /tmp/test.xml
        - xpath: .//actor[@id='1']
        - value: William Shatner


LGPO Execution Module
=====================
Multiple fixes were made to the :py:func:`win_lgpo <salt.modules.win_lgpo>` to
expand support for additional policies and improve performance. Issues with
encoding and unsupported characters (smart-quotes, em-dash, etc) found in the
ADML files as well as whitespace in some policies have been addressed.

Speed enhancements include:

- Caching the compiled xml from ADMX/ADML files in ``__context__``
- Lowercasing all keys before compiling XML to remove an expensive XPath lookup

Additional functionality:

- Adds the :py:func:`lgpo.get_policy <salt.modules.win_lgpo.get_policy>`
  function that allows you to get the current settings for a single policy.
- Changes some policy names that were overly long


LGPO State Module
=================
Multiple changes were made to the :py:func:`win_lgpo <salt.states.win_lgpo>`
state to improve performance.

It now uses the :py:func:`lgpo.get_policy <salt.modules.win_lgpo.get_policy>`
function instead of the :py:func:`lgpo.get <salt.modules.win_lgpo.get>` to avoid
reloading all settings on the machine at the beginning and end of each state
run.

Supports the new shorter policy names but also attempts to resolve the older,
longer policy names.


Win_network Salt Util
=====================
Now uses .NET libraries to obtain Interface information on Windows systems that
support it. Unsupported systems fall back to the more expensive WMI calls. This
is important as this data is gathered for grains and occurs each time a process
is forked.


Jinja enhancements
==================

Troubleshooting Jinja map files
-------------------------------

A new :py:func:`execution module <salt.modules.jinja>` for ``map.jinja`` troubleshooting
has been added.

Assuming the map is loaded in your formula SLS as follows:

.. code-block:: jinja

  {% from "myformula/map.jinja" import myformula with context %}

The following command can be used to load the map and check the results:

.. code-block:: bash

  salt myminion jinja.load_map myformula/map.jinja myformula

The module can be also used to test ``json`` and ``yaml`` maps:

.. code-block:: bash

  salt myminion jinja.import_yaml myformula/defaults.yaml

  salt myminion jinja.import_json myformula/defaults.json

json_query filter
-----------------

A port of Ansible :jinja_ref:`json_query` Jinja filter has been added. It allows
making queries against JSON data using `JMESPath language`_. Could be used to
filter ``pillar`` data, ``yaml`` maps, and also useful with :jinja_ref:`http_query`.

Depends on the `jmespath`_ Python module.

.. _`JMESPath language`: http://jmespath.org/
.. _`jmespath`: https://github.com/jmespath/jmespath.py

Slot Syntax Updates
===================

The slot syntax has been updated to support parsing dictionary responses and to append text.

.. code-block:: yaml

  demo dict parsing and append:
    test.configurable_test_state:
      - name: slot example
      - changes: False
      - comment: __slot__:salt:test.arg(shell="/bin/bash").kwargs.shell ~ /appended

.. code-block:: none

  local:
    ----------
          ID: demo dict parsing and append
    Function: test.configurable_test_state
        Name: slot example
      Result: True
     Comment: /bin/bash/appended
     Started: 09:59:58.623575
    Duration: 1.229 ms
     Changes:

Also, slot parsing is now supported inside of nested state data structures (dicts, lists, unless/onlyif args):

.. code-block:: yaml

  demo slot parsing for nested elements:
    file.managed:
      - name: /tmp/slot.txt
      - source: salt://slot.j2
      - template: jinja
      - context:
          # Slot inside of the nested context dictionary
          variable: __slot__:salt:test.echo(a_value)
      - unless:
        - fun: file.search
          args:
            # Slot as unless argument
            - __slot__:salt:test.echo(/tmp/slot.txt)
            - "DO NOT OVERRIDE"
          ignore_if_missing: True

State Changes
=============

- The :py:func:`file.symlink <salt.states.file.symlink>` state was
  fixed to remove existing file system entries other than files,
  directories and symbolic links properly.

- The ``onchanges`` and ``prereq`` :ref:`requisites <requisites>` now behave
  properly in test mode, due to removing ``pchanges``.

- Added new :py:func:`ssh_auth.manage <salt.states.ssh_auth.manage>` state to
  ensure only the specified ssh keys are present for the specified user.

- Added new :py:func:`saltutil <salt.states.saltutil>` state to use instead of
  ``module.run`` to more easily handle change.


Module Changes
==============

- Added new :py:func:`boto_ssm <salt.modules.boto_ssm>` module to set and query
  secrets in AWS SSM parameters.

- The :py:func:`file.remove <salt.modules.file.remove>` module was
  fixed to remove file system entries other than files, directories
  and symbolic links properly.


Enhancements to Engines
=======================

Multiple copies of a particular Salt engine can be configured by including
the ``engine_module`` parameter in the engine configuration.

.. code-block:: yaml

   engines:
     - production_logstash:
         host: production_log.my_network.com
         port: 5959
         proto: tcp
         engine_module: logstash
     - develop_logstash:
         host: develop_log.my_network.com
         port: 5959
         proto: tcp
         engine_module: logstash


- A new :py:func:`fluent engine <salt.engines.salt.engines.fluent>` has been
  added to export Salt events to fluentd.

  .. code-block:: yaml

    engines:
      - fluent
          host: localhost
          port: 24224

  .. code-block::

    <source>
      @type forward
      port 24224
    </source>
    <match saltstack.**>
      @type file
      path /var/log/td-agent/saltstack
    </match>

Enhancements to Beacons
=======================

Multiple copies of a particular Salt beacon can be configured by including
the ``beacon_module`` parameter in the beacon configuration.

 .. code-block:: yaml

    beacons:
      watch_importand_file:
        - files:
            /etc/important_file: {}
        - beacon_module: inotify
      watch_another_file:
        - files:
            /etc/another_file: {}
        - beacon_module: inotify

Enhancements to chroot
======================

- New functions added to chroot :py:func:`apply<salt.modules.chroot.apply_>`,
  :py:func:`sls<salt.modules.chroot.sls>`, and
  :py:func:`highstate<salt.modules.chroot.highstate>` that allow executing
  states in sls files or running apply/highstate inside of a chroot.

Minion-side ACL
---------------

Salt has had master-side ACL for the salt mine for some time, where the master
configuration contained `mine_get` that specified which minions could request
which functions. However, now you can specify which minions can access a function
in the salt mine function definition itself (or when calling :py:func:`mine.send <salt.modules.mine.send>`).
This targeting works the same as the generic minion targeting as specified
:ref:`here <targeting>`. The parameters used are ``allow_tgt`` and ``allow_tgt_type``.
See also :ref:`the documentation of the Salt Mine <mine_minion-side-acl>`. Please
note that if you want to use this new feature both your minion and masters will need
to be on atleast version 3000.
