Install the extention on the minion

For Salt onedir package (3006 and up):

sudo salt '<minion>' pip.install saltext.tsl

or

sudo salt-pip install saltext.tsl

For classic Salt package (pre 3006):

sudo pip install saltext.tsl

Test (Listing states for a specific minion included in highstate)

sudo salt '<minion>' tsl.list

Use sys.doc to list all tsl functions

sudo salt '<minion>' sys.doc tsl

Doc header generator

TSL contains an additional standalone script that is not installed with the extension: tsl-add-header.py. You can use it to automatically add the doc header to any number of sls files:

python tsl-add-header.py path/to/sls-file-or-directory

For usage details, run the following command:

python tsl-add-header.py --help

Development

To get started with your new project:

# Create a new venv
python3 -m venv env --prompt saltext-tsl
source env/bin/activate

# On mac, you may need to upgrade pip
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

# On WSL or some flavors of linux you may need to install the `enchant`
# library in order to build the docs
sudo apt-get install -y enchant

# Install extension + test/dev/doc dependencies into your environment
python -m pip install -e '.[tests,dev,docs]'
pre-commit install --install-hooks

# Run tests!
python -m nox -e tests-3

# skip requirements install for next time
export SKIP_REQUIREMENTS_INSTALL=1

# Build the docs, serve, and view in your web browser:
python -m nox -e docs && (cd docs/_build/html; python -m webbrowser localhost:8000; python -m http.server; cd -)

# Run the example function
salt-call --local tsl.hello
