Unable to connect to Upstart Ubuntu 15.10

Hi, while running "include nginx" it returns this error:

Error: /Stage[main]/Nginx::Service/Service[nginx]: Could not evaluate: Execution of '/sbin/status nginx' returned 1: status: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
Error: /Stage[main]/Nginx::Service/Service[nginx]: Failed to call refresh: Execution of '/sbin/status nginx' returned 1: status: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
Error: /Stage[main]/Nginx::Service/Service[nginx]: Execution of '/sbin/status nginx' returned 1: status: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused

I know Ubuntu 15 relies on systemd now... is there a way to get puppet to use systemctl status nginx?

This should be handled by Puppet itself (it should try using systemd on supported systems). This module's not doing anything custom with the service unless configtest_enable parameter is set to true, but I don't think that's what's happening here.

Are you using Puppet from the distro or upstream? Which version?

im using the puppet from the distro, version 3.7.2

Are you being affected by this bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/puppet/+bug/1457957

hmm good point! i aliased my status, start and end commands... and puppet doesn't seem to be erroring anymore. Thanks!
