Accessing grains using Salt-ssh in Jinja templates

I need to access custom grains in my config files using Jinja templating. Here are my files.

[root@localhost salt]# cat my_config.conf
{{ grains['ip'] }}

[root@localhost salt]# cat test_jinja.sls
/root/my_config.conf:
  file.managed:
    - source: salt://my_config.conf
    - user: root
    - group: root
    - mode: '0644'
    - makedirs: True
    - force: True
    - template: jinja

[root@localhost salt]# salt-ssh 'my-ip' state.sls test_jinja
10.225.253.134:
----------
          ID: /root/test
    Function: file.managed
      Result: False
     Comment: Unable to manage file: Jinja variable 'dict object' has no attribute 'ip'
     Started: 12:57:49.301697
    Duration: 33.039 ms
     Changes:

[root@localhost salt]# cat /etc/salt/roster
my-ip:       # The id to reference the target system with
    host: xx.xx.xx.133       # The IP address or DNS name of the remote host
    user: root        # The user to log in as
    passwd: teledna      # The password to log in with
    grains:
      ip: 'xx.xx.xx.133'

This looks like this is a bug in salt, where the grains from the roster aren't shipped over to the minion, can you try this PR?

The reason is that there is no 'ip' grain. To list all grains use salt '*' grains.items
