Salt grains don't sync, multiple environments

This can be annoying when using SaltStack, you run saltutil.sync_grains
, or a highstate
, but your custom grain is never synced to the minion. This happened to me while using multiple environments and when the grain was not in the base environment. What worked for me to get a successful sync was to pass the saltenv
argument with the value of the environment that had the grain.
$ salt "theminion" saltutil.sync_grains saltenv=env_with_grain
