I'm new to salt-stack.
I'm trying to make sure a symbolic link exists.
/etc/localtime:
file.symlink:
- target: /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris
- file.exists:
- name: /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris
The result is as excepted when there's no existing /etc/localtime, or when /etc/localtime is already a symlink. But it fails when /etc/localtime is a regular file :
----------
State: - file
Name: /etc/localtime
Function: symlink
Result: False
Comment: File exists where the symlink /etc/localtime should be
Changes:
I can't figure how to code the state so the file is deleted before the link creation. Any clue ?
Cheers, Pierre
