Invalid target repository leads to unhelpful error message

[snicoll]

Running atomist spring initializr with a target repository that does not exist leads to

# general 2018-09-06 11:31:42 Using dynamically chosen starting point project undefined:spring-initializr-project
✘ Command failure
{"kind":"failure","error":{}}

What do you mean with a target repository that does not exist? The point of a generator is to produce new repositories. What parameters are you entering?

I've created a local sdm called snicoll. If I put anything else than snicoll for "name of the target repository", I get that error.
