The function "module.run" is using its deprecated version and will expire in version "Sodium"

[eradman]

Description of Issue/Question

While running from top-of-tree (salt 2017.7.0-786-g1bbaef6) I now receive this warning when running states that use module.run:

[WARNING ] The function "module.run" is using its deprecated version and will expire in version "Sodium".

What is the new method for running modules within a state?

Steps to Reproduce Issue

install_forks:
  module.run:
    - name: cpan.install
    - module: 'forks'
    - unless:
      - perl -e 'use forks;'

This is noted in the release notes for 2017.7.0

The format for module.run is just changing to be more readable

I'm unable to use this new form. (I've missed setting the proper option in minion config)
For the following:

    redis_{{ container_id }}_command:
      module.run:
        - docker.run:
          - name: {{ container_id }}
          - cmd: 'redis-cli ping

It fails with:

2018-10-19 13:40:46,460 [salt.utils.decorators:544 ][WARNING ][17352] The function "module.run" is using its deprecated version and will expire in version "Sodium".

did you set

use_superseded:
  - module.run

in /etc/salt/minion and restart the minion?

I did not, thank you for pointing this out
