I am using the following code below in a measure to find the capacity of a CoilHeatingGas object. It works for hard coded capacities. However, when the value is autosized, it fails to find the value. I use exactly the same code for CoilHeatingElectric and it works fine with autosized values. Am I missing something or is there a bug in the current OS code for gas coils?

if coil.to_CoilHeatingGas.is_initialized
    chg = coil.to_CoilHeatingGas.get
    runner.registerInfo("CoilHeatingGas found = #{chg}.")
    # Get the capacity
    capacity_w = nil

    if chg.nominalCapacity.is_initialized
        capacity_w = chg.nominalCapacity.get
    elsif chg.autosizedNominalCapacity.is_initialized
        runner.registerInfo("CoilHeatingGas has autosized capacity.")
        capacity_w = chg.autosizedNominalCapacity.get
    else
        runner.registerError("For #{coil.name} capacity is not available.")
    end
    runner.registerInfo("CoilHeatingGas capacity found = #{capacity_w}.")


if coil.to_CoilHeatingElectric.is_initialized
    che = coil.to_CoilHeatingElectric.get
    runner.registerInfo("CoilHeatingElectric found = #{che}.")
    # Get the capacity
    capacity_w = nil
    if che.nominalCapacity.is_initialized
      capacity_w = che.nominalCapacity.get
    elsif che.autosizedNominalCapacity.is_initialized
      capacity_w = che.autosizedNominalCapacity.get
    else
      OpenStudio::logFree(OpenStudio::Warn, 'openstudio.standards.BoilerHotWater', "For #{che.name} capacity is not available.")
    end
    runner.registerInfo("CoilHeatingElectric capacity = #{capacity_w}.")

Additionally, @jmarrec was gracious enough to help. When he ran the model through the <companion_folder>/run/ directory it can find the autosized capacity. These are the results.
