Thanks for the report, @kartnico. As you can see under the Actions tab, we have Windows testing taking place, so I wonder why that's not tripping up on this. In fact, it's picking it up as kitchen:

salt-formula/test/integration/v3000-py3/files/_mapdata/windows-2019-server.yaml

Line 87 in a1b4887

rootuser: kitchen

From a quick look around, it appears that the whoami command should work.

https://ss64.com/nt/whoami.html

Equivalent bash command (Linux): whoami - Print the current user id and name (id -un).

Can you try that out and see if it works for you?

[kartnico]

{%- set rootuser = salt['cmd.run']("whoami") %}

works on Windows 10.

[myii]

Tested whoami in GitHub Actions but this causes a different value to be set:

• https://github.com/myii/salt-formula/runs/1621833398?check_suite_focus=true#step:8:1685

Would need to figure out how to ensure the same value is extracted.

[kartnico]

Could you try this ?

{%- set rootuser = salt['cmd.powershell']("(whoami).split('\')[1]") %}

It works also for me.

[myii]

Could you try this ?

{%- set rootuser = salt['cmd.powershell']("(whoami).split('\')[1]") %}

It works also for me.

@kartnico Due to the nature of cmd.powershell, that ends up returning an empty dict (rootuser: {}). See the following for more info:

• https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/93c26f1f844457e9ea7786aa89163406011171c1/salt/modules/cmdmod.py#L3506-L3515

Tried various other combinations but finally found one that works properly:

{%-   set rootuser = salt['cmd.run']("whoami").split("\\")[1] %}

That's working on Vagrant (locally) as well as in GitHub Actions:

• https://github.com/myii/salt-formula/runs/1622315993?check_suite_focus=true#step:8:1673

[kartnico]

It also works for me. Thank you.

Closed in error.

[myii]

Thanks for reopening, @dafyddj -- the fix still needs to be provided here, since it was only tested in my fork.
