i2cssh Breaks without iTerm "Default" profile available

ISSUE

I removed the Default profile in iTerm2 because it didn't suit my needs. The following error is received:

localhost% i2cssh rpsdev rpsdevb
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.3.0/gems/rb-scpt-1.0.2/lib/rb-scpt.rb:542:in `_send_command': CommandError (Appscript::CommandError)
        OSERROR: 1
        MESSAGE: No profile exists named 'Default'
        COMMAND: app("/Applications/iTerm.app").create_window_with_profile("Default", {:command=>"/usr/bin/env bash -l"})

    from /usr/local/bin/i2cssh:22:in `load'
    from /usr/local/bin/i2cssh:22:in `<main>'

ATTEMPT

Changing this value on line 194 in the indicated file: /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.3.0/gems/i2cssh-2.2.0/bin/i2cssh, and I did not see another occurrence of the "Default" profile name in this file.

I am new to i2cssh (hello new friends) but familiar with both cssh and csshX.

ENVIRONMENT

Touchbar macBook Pro
High Sierra (10.13.2)
i2cssh v2.2.0
Ruby 2.3.3p222 (2016-11-21 revision 56859) [universal.x86_64-darwin17]

This is a fresh install of i2cssh with no custom configuration yet in place.

RECOMMEND

I recommend having i2cssh select the first profile in the iTerm(2) configuration file if it finds the "Default" profile does not exist.

If i2cssh cannot find any available profile, perhaps it could break out more gracefully.

As a note, my remote machines all have various profiles assigned, so the profile with auto-switch once I am logged in… so the initially loaded profile doesn't matter.

WORKAROUND

Specifying the -p argument and a valid profile name (Local in my case) works as designed and opens a new window with multiple panes.

localhost% i2cssh -p Local rpsdev rpsdevb
