Hi @takara9, this means that your IBM Cloud settings have not been initialized properly. Please follow the Requirements section of the README.

Any idea what may be causing the error?

Hi @aslom,

In the above target context, the Resource Group is nil. This must be a change in IBM Cloud (it used to be set to default if not specified). You need to do the following as well:

ibmcloud target -g default

which will set the resource group to default.

Please try and let me know if if fixes your issue.
We will update the documentation accordingly.
