500 Internal Server Error type object argument after ** must be a mapping, not NoneType

[jaydwit]

Hi-
Trying to get this up and running and keep running into a 500 error I cannot seem to figure out.

Running the exporter on a proxmox node and prometheus remote.

journal on proxmox shows a failed get request.
"GET /pve?module=default HTTP/1.1" 500 -

UI and a curl shows this error-

`

<title>500 Internal Server Error</title>

Internal Server Error

type object argument after ** must be a mapping, not NoneType

`

I cannot for the life of me figure this out so any help would be great! Let me know what you need and I'll get it for you.

Used this guide here to get it installed if that helps any.

You are absolutely right, the error message is not helpful at all. Luckily the ** operator is only used twice, and the most likely problem is that config is None in collect_pve.

The module url parameter maps to toplevel keys in the config file. Thus make sure you have the default toplevel key in your YAML configuration file.

Opened #25 and #26 to avoid problems like this in the future.

Released version 1.2.1 with error handling and config validation improvements. Please open a new issue if problems persist.
