Saltstack update all minions highstate once gitfs remote changed

Question

I am struggling to implement a reactor (or any other method) to have all my minions updated once the salt master gitfs configured remote has changed (so when a commit has been pushed/merged into the branch the salt master is monitoring)

So far I tried to implement a reactor.conf with the following:

---
reactor:
  - salt/fileserver/gitfs/update:
      - filter: data.get('changed', False) == True
      - salt:
          tgt: "*"
          fun: state.apply
          arg:
            highstate: ""

But getting error:

2023-04-14 10:20:05 master01  | [ERROR   ] Exception encountered while compiling reactions
2023-04-14 10:20:05 master01  | Traceback (most recent call last):
2023-04-14 10:20:05 master01  |   File "salt/utils/reactor.py", line 178, in reactions
2023-04-14 10:20:05 master01  |     high.update(self.render_reaction(fn_, tag, data))
2023-04-14 10:20:05 master01  |   File "salt/utils/reactor.py", line 57, in render_reaction
2023-04-14 10:20:05 master01  |     if glob_ref.startswith("salt://"):
2023-04-14 10:20:05 master01  | AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'startswith'

What would be the right approach here?

You appear to have tried to mix the reactor.conf with the reaction.sls into one file, which is why it doesn't compile. — OrangeDog, Apr 14 '23 at 16:07

Reactor configuration is supposed to be in two separate files

# /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf
reactor:
  - salt/fileserver/gitfs/update:
    - /srv/reactor/gitfs.sls

# /srv/reactor/gitfs.sls
{% if data.get('changed') %}
highstate_run:
  local.state.apply:
    - tgt: '*'
{% endif %}
