Issue with Porting - `ERROR: Expected one child`

I am trying to port the CESM2.0 to a Google Cloud Node. I followed the tutorials about CESM porting and added reasonable settings for my machines in my ~/.cime/config_machines.xml I am now trying to run create_case script ./create_newcase --case /tmp/snegi-test --compset B1850 --res f19_g17 --compiler gnu --mpilib openmpi But i get error `ERROR: Expected one child` Here is the complete log  https://gist.github.com/snegivulcan/6b93078f557385d95491beed3998c38f This is my config_machines.xml definition for my machine https://gist.github.com/snegivulcan/ea877891422dadde3b42ee91dd18d569 Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for posting the detailed information. I'm not sure what the problem is off-hand, but in case it helps, here are the files I use successfully on my Mac:https://github.com/billsacks/mac_cime_configurationMaybe by comparing yours with a known working copy you'll see some aspect of the xml that is responsible for the issue?

Thank you Bill. I followed the reference project you posted and all my tests now pass when i run./scripts/fortran_unit_testing/run_tests.py --build-dir `mktemp -d ./unit_test_temp.XXXXXX` However, when i try to create the case I still get the same error as posted in the original post.
