[WARNING ] Key 'file_ignore_glob' with value None has an invalid type of NoneType, a list is required for this value

@phil123456 This is fixed with #32117 which is available in the 2015.8.10 release.

This is actually a duplicate of #32114, so I am going to go ahead and close this since it's a duplicate and it's been fixed. Thanks @phil123456 for following up!

[spacertechie]

This issue still occurs.

[lamoni]

I'm still getting this issue.

As of April 2017, still getting this.

Hi all - can you file new issues with the relevant information? Perhaps this has resurfaced.

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 on DigitalOcean, installed salt via apt-get install salt-master salt-minion on a newly created droplet.

[shiplu]

@scottwhyte Perfect fix!

[christianparpart]

@scottwhyte your solution may work, but it's a manual hard-coded fix in a way you should never do it.

So will there be a proper fix? (I'm also running into this and I now decided to get rid of that annoying message)

[kingzus]

@scottwhyte nice!

[wad11656]

Ummmm..... WHERE is @scottwhyte 's answer???

As of Jan 2020, still getting this warning too on an Ubuntu 16.04 DO droplet.

I also have the same question: Where is @scottwhyte 's answer? 🧐

[wwalker]

Me too! This is closed but it is still happening and there is no published work around.

[rallytime]

@wwalker and @eon01 you might have better luck reaching someone on the dev team by filing a new issue with the details of the problem you're hitting.
