SOLVED: Pubsub collector 1.0.1 - buffer timeLimit problems

I have tried to build and run the pubsub collector but I keep getting the same error.
Seems like I’m missing something. Build is 1.0.1 .

Build steps:
https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/Install-the-Scala-Stream-Collector#22-compile-from-source
After git clone, ran this here:
sbt "project pubsub" assembly

Which created .jar in pubsub/target/..../

To run jar file: java -jar snowplow-stream-collector-pubsub-1.0.1.jar --config config.conf

Error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: elementCountThreshold must be either unset or positive

I have create an Issue in github repo for this here.
Plus I created a PR to fix the problem.

Ok, I have found my error and have closed the PR and the Issue created. Sorry for the inconvenience.
So error was recordLimit was set to 0 (zero) and that was wrong. Question solved
