Creating modern site with PnP powershell

I'm getting the following error with the latest PnP Online module. Does this work for anyone?

 

New-PnPSite -Type TeamSite -Title Portfolio -Alias pc
New-PnPSite : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
At line:1 char:1

    I initially was thinking it was due to the way you login, as we fixed an issue with using the -WebLogin parameters. But indeed, in your case it is the mailnickname that is causing the issue, it is not related to your login. Indeed, the Alias parameter value cannot contain a space. 

     

    I'll add a check in the backend code for that.
