Lane configure_setup fails with method_missing error

I just run bundle exec configure_setup on a new project and it failed with this stack trace

NoMethodError: [!] undefined method `trigger_action_by_name' for nil:NilClass

I'm opening this issue because I don't have the time now to follow this up.

Reproduce the failure with bundle exec configure_setup, then inspect configure_apply_action.rb at line 54 and configure_setup_action.rb at line 41, as identified by the stack trace. Trace why trigger_action_by_name is called on nil and verify that configure_setup completes without this NoMethodError.
