jmeter-analysis-plugin IllegalArgumentException: Null or zero length 'values' argument

jmeter-maven-plugin

I am getting an illegal argument exception when running the jmeter-analysis plugin. I have validated all the output .jtl files and it doesn't appear that the xml files are malformed. Below I have posted the maven command I am using to run the performance test suite (which runs fine), as well as my project structure, pom and output. I can't quite figure out what is going on, as everything was actually working before I updated the JMeter test plan in the .jmx. The suite runs fine in the JMeter GUI and runs fine before it gets to the analyze step. Has anyone encountered this before? What can I do to solve this?

Maven 

mvn -pl performance-tests clean verify -U -X

I have downloaded the plugin and see the exception is happening with ChartWriter component when it doesn't have 'values' to generate charts (I think).

To by-pass it without changing code, you can disable ChartWriter (if you not really need it) by changing in pom as below.
