Salt: [BUG] Cannot call service.enable or service.start from highstate

Created on 18 Aug 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: saltstack/salt

Description
I have a salt state which enables then starts a service via the win_service module, which i understand to be mapped to the service state to be called via cli or via the state. I have a minion setup to use highstate on startup, and it errors out when trying to call service.enable and service.start saying "Reason: 'service.start' is not available." i can however do a salt-call from the cli and get the command to work correctly?

State

EnableStartInfraAgent:
    service.enable:
        - name: newrelic-infra
        - start_type: auto
StartInfraAgent:
    service.start:
        - name: newrelic-infra

Verified on the minion host that both are available:

PS C:\Windows\system32> salt-call sys.list_functions 'service*'
local:
    - service.available
    - service.create
    - service.create_win_salt_restart_task
    - service.delete
    - service.disable
    - service.disabled
    - service.enable
    - service.enabled
    - service.execute_salt_restart_task
    - service.get_all
    - service.get_disabled
    - service.get_enabled
    - service.get_service_name
    - service.getsid
    - service.info
    - service.missing
    - service.modify
    - service.restart
    - service.start
    - service.status
    - service.stop

When calling state.apply from the host:

PS C:\Windows\system32> salt-call state.apply
[ERROR   ] State 'service.enable' was not found in SLS 'newrelic.windows'
Reason: 'service.enable' is not available.

When running with debug this is all i get for those states

[DEBUG   ] Could not LazyLoad service.enable: 'service.enable' is not available.
[INFO    ] Running state [newrelic-infra] at time 15:58:48.878047
[DEBUG   ] Could not LazyLoad service.enable: 'service.enable' is not available.

[DEBUG   ] Could not LazyLoad service.start: 'service.start' is not available.
[ERROR   ] State 'service.start' was not found in SLS 'newrelic.windows'

When calling the command directly from the host i can run without any issues:

PS C:\Windows\system32> salt-call service.start newrelic-infra

    True

Are you perhaps confusing states and execution modules here? States only have service.enabled as far as I can see.
