salt: Custom salt modules not loading after sync_all, requires minion restart
Custom salt modules are a bit confusing, and documentation doesn’t explain it well.
For example;
$ cat /srv/salt/base/_modules/hello.py
import salt
def world():
return "hello world"
$ salt local saltutil.sync_all
local:
----------
grains:
modules:
- modules.hello
outputters:
renderers:
returners:
states:
$ salt local hello.world
local:
'hello.world' is not available.
For the above to work, I had to restart the minion, which appears to be undocumented.
Any changes to these modules also require a minion restart
Should I send a PR with some better docs, or does this need more thought?

Guys, I saw the next picture: after creation, when module is updated, but can’t be compiled (
.pyis present but.pycis not), it is not displayed bysys.list_modulesand can’t be executed.
