Input Function Exception KeyError: 'location'

Hello!
I’m a new NextStrain user working on COVID-19. I’m running into the following error and wasn’t able to find any answers on the forum. Would anyone be able to help or have ideas on how to fix this?

InputFunctionException in line 355 of …/nextstrain2/ncov2/workflow/snakemake_rules/main_workflow.smk:
Error:
KeyError: ‘location’

build_name=illinois

For anyone else that may run into the same issue, I ended up resolving this by removing anything with “location={location}” from my build.yaml document.
