Bug Description

I tried to bootstrap a GCE controller using what turned out to be bad credentials. The error message I got was 'ERROR missing "type"'. This was less helpful than it might be in working out what was going wrong.

Juju tries to be helpful and tends to provide error messages that will give users guidance on what went wrong and how to correct the situation.

Could you please share an example of what specifically was wrong in your case? We would like to ensure that a message is focused and dedicated to an individual scenario and avoids ambiguity.
