TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object

Which operating system are you using?

WSL

Please provide some context for your error. For example, when did the error occur? What were you trying to achieve, and how?

I ran the command below: caliper launch manager --caliper-workspace cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/src/ethereum/simple --caliper-benchconfig cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/benchmarks/scenario/simple/config.yaml --caliper-networkconfig cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/networks/ethereum/1node-clique/networkconfig.json

It connected to my local blockchain but does not run my benchmarks.

I then ran the command below in another terminal: caliper launch manager --caliper-workspace cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/src/ethereum/simple --caliper-benchconfig cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/benchmarks/scenario/simple/config.yaml --caliper-networkconfig cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/networks/ethereum/1node-clique/networkconfig.json --caliper-flow-only-test

I got the error: [caliper] [caliper-worker] Worker [0] encountered an error during prepare test phase for round 0: TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object at Function.keys () at EthereumConnector.getContext (cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/node_modules/@hyperledger/caliper-ethereum/lib/ethereum-connector.js:164:34) at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:95:5) at async CaliperWorker.prepareTest (cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/node_modules/@hyperledger/caliper-core/lib/worker/caliper-worker.js:157:23) at async WorkerMessageHandler._handlePrepareMessage (cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/node_modules/@hyperledger/caliper-core/lib/worker/worker-message-handler.js:210:13) at async ProcessMessenger. (cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/node_modules/@hyperledger/caliper-core/lib/worker/worker-message-handler.js:89:13)

What was the observed incorrect behavior?

The command: caliper launch manager --caliper-workspace cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/src/ethereum/simple --caliper-benchconfig cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/benchmarks/scenario/simple/config.yaml --caliper-networkconfig cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/networks/ethereum/1node-clique/networkconfig.json

is not generating results for my benchmarks. It is simply connecting my local blockchain.

When I use the command : caliper launch manager --caliper-workspace cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/src/ethereum/simple --caliper-benchconfig cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/benchmarks/scenario/simple/config.yaml --caliper-networkconfig cwk/blockchain_DEP/caliper-benchmarks/networks/ethereum/1node-clique/networkconfig.json --caliper-flow-only-test

I get the TypeError: Cannot convert undefined or null to object

Please provide the error logs and their surroundings.
