here is a example

i write a state

my pillar file

# cat /opt/pillar/mytest/iniit.sls
192.168.11.15:
  - adsrv
  - cookieshow

my state file

# cat init.sls
/tmp/mytest:
  file.managed:
   - source: salt://mytest/mytest.sh
   - user: hdfs
   - group: hdfs
   - template: jinja
   - defaults:
       projects:
{% for i in pillar[grains['ip_interfaces']['bond0'][0]] %}
         - {{i}}
{% endfor %}

and my template file

# cat mytest.sh
{% for project in projects %}

# {{project}} - write all messages to hadoop

{% endfor %}

and i run salt to put file onto 192.168.11.15 ,work fine

# salt 'ch15' state.sls mytest
ch15:
----------
    State: - file
    Name:      /tmp/mytest
    Function:  managed
        Result:    True
        Comment:   File /tmp/mytest updated
        Changes:   diff: New file
                   group: hdfs
                   user: hdfs
                  
now i comment my state file ,and write another state

# cat init.sls
#/tmp/mytest:
#  file.managed:
#   - source: salt://mytest/mytest.sh
#   - user: hdfs
#   - group: hdfs
#   - template: jinja
#   - defaults:
#       projects:
#{% for i in pillar[grains['ip_interfaces']['bond0'][0]] %}
#         - {{i}}
#{% endfor %}

/tmp/mytest2:
  file.managed:
    - source: salt://mytest/mytest2.sh

mytest2.sh is a text file not a template file

# cat mytest2.sh
mytext

and i run it put mytest2.sh onto another host 192.168.11.14 ,it get error 

# salt 'ch14' state.sls mytest
