Pass pillar data through kwarg for salt.state

[dnd]

Through discussion on IRC, currently custom pillar data can be set on the command line when calling states, or using salt-run for say the orchestration runner. Pillar data cannot be set inside an orchestration file, and then passed along to the states that it calls, though.

Thanks for filing this. It would be handy to be able to define custom Pillar values within the orchestrate sls file.

The salt.state function needs a kwarg option like the salt.function has. (Or just a dedicated pillar kwarg.)

Something like:

stuff_and_things:
  salt.state:
    - tgt: 'all-the-minions'
    - sls: mygroovyslsfile
    - pillar:
        stuff: True
        things: False

No worries. =)
