salt: [BUG] file.managed and file.symlink both run in test mode by default

Description During a basic file.managed or file.symlink, running salt state.apply results in “symlink is set for creation” or “The file is set to be changed. Note: No changes have been applied.”

Even explicitly setting “test” in the minion configuration to False did not fix the issue. The only fix is to manually intervene and hope that the files line up as expected.

Setup

/opt/netbox:
  file.symlink:
    - target: /opt/netbox-{{ netboxversion }}
    - force: True
    - test: False
    - require:
      - archive: /opt

/opt/netbox/local_requirements.txt:
  file.managed:
    - source: salt://filesets/netbox/local_requirements.txt
    - require:
      - file: /opt/netbox

Please be as specific as possible and give set-up details.

• VM (ProxMox)
• onedir packaging

Steps to Reproduce the behavior With the given symlink and managed examples above, simply running salt state.apply fails. The same is true of a managed file

Expected behavior Prior to 3006, when running salt state.apply the file would be changed or updated as per the SLS definition.
