## Observation

```
++ timeout -v --kill-after=10m 90m ssh openqa.suse.de 'set -eo pipefail; rm -f salt_highstate.log; salt --log-file=salt_highstate.log --log-file-level=debug --state-output=changes --hide-timeout \* state.highstate queue=True | awk '\''/Result..Clean[- ]*Started/ {print > "salt_profiling.log"; next} 1'\'''
worker30.oqa.prg2.suse.org:
Passed invalid arguments to state.highstate: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not list
Retrieve the state data from the salt master for this minion and execute it
```
This is an error message we generally see every now and then.
## Suggestions
* **DONE** Restart pipelines
* Investigate what's causing the invalid highstate
* Checkout https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/133469 - the debugging-code should be still in place on all workers
* As we have seen that problem in the past lookup older tickets if we have reported something similar
* Research if this is an upstream issue
* Try to find mitigations, workarounds, better error messages, etc.
