vmc push error: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

Question

When trying to 'vmc push hello' the sinatra sample app as a test of deployment I get:

Time of crash:

NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

This happens when trying to deploy using vmc to 'api.cloudfoundry.com' and micro cloud using the commands 'vmc push hello' and 'vmc push'

There is an issue with the manifests-vmc-plugin (0.4.14), you can do one of a couple of a few things;

Use the legacy version of VMC (3.2.23)
Uninstall VMC 0.4.2 and manifests-vmc-plugin 0.4.14 if you already had vmc 0.4.1 and manifests-vmc-plugin 0.4.13 installed.

If you uninstall all versions of VMC and manifests-vmc-plugin, you can re-install vmc 0.4.1, then uninstall manifests-vmc-plugin 0.4.14 and re-install manifests-vmc-plugin 0.4.13 this should leave with a working version of the "new" vmc as apposed the older legacy version.

Hope that all makes sense. I should also add that this issue will be picked up and hopefully resolved in the next 24hrs.
