Thorium runner.cmd is not working

[kiemlicz]

Description of Issue/Question

Thorium's runner.cmd is not building arguments properly (I guess).

Setup

Create something like this in some example sls under thorium_roots:

some_orchestrate:
  runner.cmd:
    - func: state.orchestrate
    - arg:
        - some.sls.file
    - kwargs:
        saltenv: server

For convenience setup rawfile_json

Steps to Reproduce Issue

Send some events to trigger thorium
saltenv will not be passed to the state.orchestrate The event dump:

{"tag": "salt/run/20181124220603287357/new", "data": {"fun": "runner.state.orchestrate", "fun_args": ["some.sls.file", {"orchestration_jid": "20181124220603287357"}]

Trying to:

some_orchestrate:
  runner.cmd:
    - func: state.orchestrate
    - arg:
        - some.sls.file
        - saltenv: server

Brings me closer to solution but still doesn't work

{"tag": "salt/run/20181124221236510322/new", "data": {"fun": "runner.state.orchestrate", "fun_args": ["some.sls.file", {"saltenv": "server"}, {"orchestration_jid": "20181124221236510322"}], "jid": "20181124221236510322", "user": "root", "_stamp": "2018-11-24T21:12:37.190855"}}

Mind separated {'orchestration_jid': ...}

How do I get this working (workaround)?
I'm guessing the problem is here (thorium/runner.py):

    local_opts = {}
    local_opts.update(__opts__)
    local_opts['async'] = True  # ensure this will be run asynchronous
    local_opts.update({
        'fun': func,
        'arg': arg,
        'kwarg': kwargs
    })
    runner = salt.runner.Runner(local_opts)
    runner.run()

Could you give me hints or code reference where these options are properly handled so that I'll fix it myself?

just taking a quick glance at the code i think you are pointing in the right direction of the issue. Because when it hits runner.run() this is what kwargs becomes: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/v2018.3.3/salt/runner.py#L199-L201

It never references self.opts['kwargs'] and when it tries to parse the kwargs and args with the call salt.minion.load_args_and_kwargs it tires parsing self.opts['arg']. i've not been in this code a ton but i'm guessing that kwargs will need to be added to the args in thorium/runner.py.

but someone from @saltstack/team-core can correct me if i'm wrong about that analysis
