Unknown error when attempting to stop a deployment

[rosieyohannan]

When I start a deployment, then try to stop it using reco deploy stop <ID> I get the error message:

histogram-array $ reco deploy stop fc27a0c5-a106-414f-8cd0-f13038fd3ee0

Error: Unknown error occurred

But if I look at the deploy list I see it's trying to terminate:

histogram-array $ reco deploy list

Just to update everyone on the status, this is an API-side error where if you create a deployment and terminate it rapidly we haven't gotten around to creating your deployment by the time the termination comes in. This causes an internal error which reco reports as unknown error occurred.

The fixes for this are two-fold:

1. Fix the API, that work is in progress
2. Have reco report the error provided by the API instead of a generic message.
