SALT-SSH: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'fromstringlist'

This error triggers when the salt-master is CentOS6 and the target is CentOS7.  The salt-master on CentOS6 would copy ElementTree.py to the minion on CentOS7 but  python2.6's lib cannot run directly on python2.7. To overcome this issue, On the salt-master: 1). Find the thin.py # find / -name thin.py /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/salt/runners/thin.py /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/salt/utils/thin.py In /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/salt/utils/thin.py try: import xml HAS_XML = True except ImportError: HAS_XML = False Modify as: try: import xml HAS_XML = False except ImportError: HAS_XML = False 2). remove the thin.tgz from cache # rm /var/cache/salt/master/thin/thin.tgz 3). Perform the salt-ssh command again with -W ( -W for Select a random temp dir to deploy on the remote system. The dir will be cleaned after the execution.) # salt-ssh -W rnd test.ping # salt-ssh -W rnd disk.usage
