network_route does not catch nor fix invalid routes

[KlavsKlavsen]

I had accidently set:
other routes.. and then:
network_route { '10.97.0.0/16':
ensure => 'present',
gateway => '192.168.22.50',
interface => 'eth0',
netmask => '8',
network => '10.97.0.0'
}

Which wrote this in the route-eth0 file:
10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 via 192.168.22.1 dev eth0
10.0.0.0/255.255.0.0 via 192.168.22.50 dev eth0
192.168.0.0/255.255.0.0 via 192.168.22.1 dev eth0
default via 192.168.22.50 dev eth0

When I then corrected it to netmask => 16 and network 10.97.0.0 - it spit out errors, instead of fixing it:
Could not evaluate: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Hello:

What's the status of this issue? I'm just pinging old issues.

This is partially fixed in #282 but the NilClass issue can still occur, but at least route file should be written properly
this can maybe be closed?
