Spinning up a GCP instance from an EC2 instance results in an error

[jameshcoppens]

Whenever I issue the following command to try and create a GCP instance

knife google server create test-01-production-chs -m n1-standard-2 -I ubuntu-1404-trusty-v20150909a --gce-image-project-id ubuntu-os-cloud -n um-subnet-chs-1b-public-admin -N 01.test.production.chs -E production -Z us-east1-b --gce-boot-disk-size 40G -i ec2_keys/um_vn_key_chs.pem -x ubuntu --gce-server-connect-ip PUBLIC -VV

I get the following output

Instance Name: test-01-production-chs
Machine Type: n1-standard-2
Image: ubuntu-1404-trusty-v20150909a
Zone: us-east1-b

Private IP Address: ["10.4.0.3"]

ERROR: knife encountered an unexpected error
This may be a bug in the 'google server create' knife command or plugin
Please collect the output of this command with the -VV option before filing a bug report.
Exception: NoMethodError: undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass

Any insight would be very helpful.

I figured out what the issue is. I had to create an empty runlist for the the plugin to work

I had to append
-r ''
to the end of my string in order for it to work correctly.

Interesting issue that seems like it should have been solved already.
