Archive.tar: unpacking is not working as documented #26474
Description
I cannot extract using archive.tar , however it works correctly using normal shell commands.
salt-call archive.tar Pxvf /path/to/tar/backup_1439997131.tar.gz -ldebugand i got the same when i did the following:
salt-call archive.tar Pxvf /path/to/tar/backup_1439997131.tar.gz dest=/Passed invalid arguments: 'NoneType' object is not iterable
Traceback (most recent call last):

Currently , i had to pass sources as an empty list which is not explained at documentation at the unpacking example, maybe it needs to be updated there ?
I have solved it like this
salt-call archive.tar Pxvf /path/to/tar/backup_1439997131.tar.gz sources=[]
