We removed the Salt requirement because with OneDir, it became problematic in regard of dependencies management.
Comparing rOPS requirements.txt with what's installed on my environment, I see lot of dependencies missing.
When installing Salt (pip install salt), lot of Salt dependencies were missing like looseversion, tornado, msgpack.
Can we find a solution to create a virtual environment ready to use?
If Salt dependencies are the issue, a possibility is to define requirements from https://github.com/saltstack/salt/tree/master/requirements
Salt dependencies are reasonable enough to add to requirements.txt:
distro>=1.9.0,<2 looseversion>=1.3.0,<2 msgpack>=1.1.2,<2 tornado>=6.5.4,<7
Another problem is 3006.8 is OK, 3006.23 triggers a strange issue: AttributeError: cannot access submodule 'cmdmod' of module 'salt.modules' (most likely due to a circular import) -> dichotomy search is needed here.
Finally, jsondiff is also required by scripts/bats/test_edit_acme_dns_accounts.sh.
