There are a few variations of Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, undefined local variable or method `known_resource_types' occurring when compiling catalogs with puppetmaster2001 running puppet 4.8.2.
Here are a couple examples from hosts chosen at random:
Failed to retrieve catalog from https://puppetmaster2001.codfw.wmnet:8140/future/catalog/aqs1006.eqiad.wmnet: 500 {"message":"Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, undefined local variable or method `known_resource_types' for Scope(Class[Prometheus::Node_puppet_agent]):Puppet::Parser::Scope at /etc/puppet/modules/prometheus/manifests/node_puppet_agent.pp:13:5 on node aqs1006.eqiad.wmnetFailed to retrieve catalog from https://puppetmaster2001.codfw.wmnet:8140/future/catalog/analytics1051.eqiad.wmnet: 500 {"message":"Server Error: Evaluation Error: Error while evaluating a Function Call, undefined local variable or method `known_resource_types' for Scope(Class[Profile::Java::Analytics]):Puppet::Parser::Scope at /etc/puppet/modules/profile/manifests/java/analytics.pp:13:9 on node analytics1051.eqiad.wmnetIn both cases the offending line is a call to require_package()
Some additional information from puppetmaster2001:

Coincidentally both occur on line number 13. Spooky!
