Per Alex comment, the keystone_domain class is definitely involved.
The provider fails: "Could not set 'present' on ensure"
And the propagated error seems to be because the provider could not be
set up for some dependent reason and came back empty.
$ irb
irb(main):001:0> nil.new
NoMethodError: undefined method `new' for nil:NilClass
The second pass worked because the missing "dependent" bit was set up
(in the meantime) and the provider creation was satisfied.
To investigate dependent cause within the provider, you could use
'notice("Value: ${variable}")'
