SLS Rendering Error - 2017.7.0

[ghovat]

Hi,
I have a bug with a salt minion version 2017.7.0 (master has the same version [ there are no problems])
During a state.apply I get from salt-formula a Rendering error:

local:
    Data failed to compile:
----------
    Rendering SLS 'base:salt.minion' failed: Jinja variable 'dict object' has no attribute 'iteritems'
/var/cache/salt/minion/files/base/salt/map.jinja(8):

{%- macro deep_merge(a, b) %}
{#-     This whole `'dict' in x.__class__.__name__` mess is a 
        workaround for the missing mapping test in CentOS 6's

{%-     for k,v in b.iteritems() %}    <======================
{%-         if v is string or v is number %}
{%-             do a.update({ k: v }) %}

{%-             if a[k] is not defined %}
{%-                 do a.update({ k: v }) %}

Salt is on the newest version and also salt-formula is on the latest state.
Do you have a fix for this issue?
Thanks

Without knowing the versions of OS and other software you are running, I am guessing you are seeing the issue where Python 3.x has removed the dict.iteritems() function.

IIRC, you can just replace iteritems() with items() and it should work the same. I believe this is related to #296

Yeah, that's #296. I'm surprised an instance of iteritems() survived for so long as the preparation for python 3 compatibility is going on for at least two years.

@mechleg @0xf10e Yes that was the problem.
Is there a official fix planned?

@ghovat see pr #330
