Bash salt

User Support

Dear all,
I am trying to set up a Standalone qube with miniconda installed using salt. It worked before the last update to 4.2.3. After the update i get an error “: ..code-block:: bash.” Do you have any work around solution?
I could not find anything useful on the salt website.
Here is a example of the code:

Step 1: Download the Miniconda installer

download_conda:
cmd.run:
- name: |
apt install wget
wget {{ conda_url }} -O {{ download_path }}

Step 2: Verify the SHA-256 checksum of the installer

verify_conda_sha256:
cmd.run:
- name: |
if [ “$(sha256sum {{ download_path }} | awk ‘{print $1}’)” != {{ conda_sha256 }} ]; then
echo “SHA256 checksum does not match!”
exit 1
fi
- require:
- cmd: download_conda

Step 3: Install Miniconda if the SHA-256 checksum is correct

install_conda:
cmd.run:
- name: bash {{ download_path }} -b -p {{ conda_path }}
- creates: {{ conda_path }}
- require:
- cmd: verify_conda_sha256

Step 4: Initialize Conda for the user

conda_init:
cmd.run:
- name: {{ conda_path }}/bin/conda init bash
- runas: user
- require:
- cmd: install_conda

Guessing: where it says

- name: {{ conda_path }}/bin/conda init bash

verify that the expected miniconda command is actually conda init bash.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was conda init --bash or conda init -bash or conda init "bash" or something along those lines.

If my guess is correct, the miniconda documentation is the right place to look.

If i comment last step out, i still get the same error. In the official documentation conda init —all would do the job.

Maybe it’s bash in the step 3. Bad path?

Or nothing at all. You should’ve specified which step failed and some context for “: …code-block:: bash.”.

The problem is solved. There was a typo in the qubesctl line…
