Error for using btap equest converter

Hello,

when using btap_equest_converter to covert an INP file to OSM, I got the following error:

Standard Output:
[10:40:46.886782 WARN] No valid weather file defined in either the osm or osw. 
INFO: loading file:Z:/Projects/2018074_TPEE_TP/data/EXPORT/RevitEnergyModel_20190520/Doe2Standard.inp

I tried to look inside equest.rb (ex. line 2333) but I could not find any solution for this problem. Indeed, I also tried using converter with some test files downloaded from https://github.com/canmet-energy/btap/tree/master/measures_development/btap_equest_converter, and it worked. But for my building, I don't know why the error undefined method "construction=" for #

Any help?

Thanks a lot
