Description

Observation

This lead to https://gitlab.suse.de/openqa/salt-pillars-openqa/-/jobs/1716103/raw failing with:

ERROR: Minions returned with non-zero exit code

openqaworker-arm-3.suse.de:
    Passed invalid arguments to state.highstate: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not list
…

Trying to apply the states manually leads to the following error (which persisted after multiple attempts and waiting a few minutes between them):

martchus@openqa:~> sudo salt -C 'openqaworker-arm-3.suse.de' -l error --state-output=changes state.apply
openqaworker-arm-3.suse.de:
    Data failed to compile:

    The function "state.highstate" is running as PID 5343 and was started at 2023, Jul 24 21:09:36.760016 with jid 20230724210936760016

    The function "state.highstate" is running as PID 93318 and was started at 2023, Jul 27 14:59:24.641229 with jid 20230727145924641229
ERROR: Minions returned with non-zero exit code

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: It is known what causes the problem
  • AC2: The problem is fixed or worked around as far as possible

Suggestions

  • We have seen this problem before on other workers (see #95140) so it would make sense to research more.
  • Research if the problem is discussed upstream
    • If nothing can be found ask directly in e.g. chats or the suse internal mailinglist salt@suse.de
