FAQ
Good Morning:

I’ like to know if the /etc/salt/master file is read in any sort of order.
I’m specifically speaking of the file_roots directive. Mine reads:



file_roots:

   base:

     - /srv/salt

     - /srv/salt/dev



When I spun up a dev server, see what transpired. Can you tell me why it
worked out that way?

    It's just read into a python dictionary which is unordered. I believe the
    default outputter sorts the top level keys for display. The order of the
    keys in the config file is irrelevant, though, unless you inadvertently
    redefine a key further down in your config.

    The error you're receiving is due to the absence of a top.sls file in your
    environment base directory.

    Do a google search for salstack state top and you'll find the information
    you seek.
