[BUG] Function grains.items in mine.update failed to execute

[MyIgel]

Description
When setting mine_functions to run grains.items it fails to execute after upgrade to 3000.2 (from before 3000 where it worked).

Setup
/etc/salt/minion.d/50-mine.conf

mine_functions:
  grains.items: [host]

Steps to Reproduce the behavior
Restart the minion

May 02 21:12:14 prometheus salt-minion[5753]: [DEBUG   ] Error: Traceback (most recent call last):

(lines may be inaccurate as i added more debug messages to the code, see Additional context)

Expected behavior
The grains.items to be collected

The same problem occurs on minions running python 3 on a new debian vm

Additional context
The value of function_args is [u'host'] and the value of function_kwargs is {'sanitize': False}, where the sanitize part seems to cause the problem. Where does it come from?

Removing the **function_kwargs parameter from return salt_function(*function_args, **function_kwargs) solves the problem but that can not be the solution ;)

What would be the expected value here?

Interestingly when using grains.items: [] it works somehow but why?

Or: Adding (maybe invalid?) parameters should show an more descriptive error?

[rossengeorgiev]

Hi @MyIgel whats your salt master log saying? Do you see any errors, or Requested method not exposed: ..... ?

[MyIgel]

I can't see that message in the master debug log (but as i have more minions its not that easy to find anything in it ;)) and so far no other related errors?

But i don't think its that master related (and only affects minions)?
