Thank you for reporting this issue! We've confirmed the problem and submitted a fix.

The confusing error message you described has been addressed. Instead of showing those cryptic internal error codes, the error will now clearly indicate that there's a problem with the selector you provided and show exactly what selector text was invalid.

The fix is now under review: CortexLM/cortex-cli#96

Once the fix is merged, it will be available in the next release. Thanks for helping us improve!
