Sensu puppet module causes invalid parameter prefetch on some runs of puppet

[dmak1112]

For some reason, after downloading the new sensu puppet module, puppet will randomly succeed or fail to run. Without changing any code, sometimes, puppet will run successfully, but most times, i receive this error:
Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter prefetch on Sensu_rabbitmq_config
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

It will run normally for about 30 minutes every couple of hours based on testing.
Again, i am using the code directly from this repo. I've tried installing many different times, each with the same result.
I was using this version previously: https://github.com/dmak1112/kilo-puppet/tree/master/sensu
All dependences are within the required ranges

The only changes I made were:
I updated my sensu folder and update the purge paramater because mine was deprecated. my purge parameter now looks like this: purge => true

Updated description with some more information. Still having this issue.

I've got the same error after updating the module to version 2.1.0:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter prefetch on Sensu_rabbitmq_config[node.domain] at /etc/puppet/environments/env_name/modules/sensu/manifests/rabbitmq/config.pp:123 on node node.domain
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

Version of puppet that I've used on puppet master: puppet-3.7.4-1.el7.noarch

I've tried to dig into what can cause this issue and found this puppet bug:

• PUP-1515 – When compiling a catalog, providers should be loaded from specified environment
• MODULES-1690 – Invalid parameter provider

I've updated puppet on puppet master to version puppet-3.8.7-1.el7.noarch and now the error doesn't occur any more.

I updated the pupper version on my slave from 3.6.2 to 3.8.7. The master was already running 3.8.7. After this, I still get the error:

Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: Invalid parameter prefetch on Sensu_rabbitmq_config[compute-215.staging.moc.edu] at /etc/puppet/environments/staging_dimitri/modules/sensu/manifests/rabbitmq/config.pp:124 on node compute-215.staging.moc.edu-5afa8b7d-028a-4b6e-a299-acb8811a99b3
Warning: Not using cache on failed catalog
Error: Could not retrieve catalog; skipping run

@dmak1112 I don't think this is necessarily a problem with the module. usually when types/providers are updated a restart of the master is required due to this: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8750

Can you confirm you've restarted your master when updating the module?

I was having this exact problem after updating the module, after a server restart things started working as anticipated. Puppet 3.8.6 on both client and master.

I think this is related to the bug I mentioned above. Going to close this, please reopen if you think it's an issue with the module itself.

if you run into this in the future, the remaining work seems to be in SERVER-94
