[garethgreenaway]

@slhu91 Thanks for the report. It appears that at the start of the logs the minion had an exception. can you provide information about what Salt function you were running that may have caused this?

[slhu91]

this is my abc_test.sls file

push_file_test:
file.managed:
- name: /data/disops_release/iGeneral_client_2.tgz
- source: salt://base/file/iGeneral_client_2.tgz
- user: root
- group: root
- mode: 644

It throw error when run salt 'x.x.x.x' state.sls base.abc_test ,just transmit file

[slhu91]
