When I try to create an account on testate using this command:

> flow accounts create --network testnet --signer testnet-account --key 9d3d48ae994dc34681f3e805d48928c5da3c8985c592a243b8e84e42fa1d4a5ab3d3e21132964a32da8c9665bf2c46854a21b76eddc577b423ec58b80ab229a0

I got this error:

> Transaction ID: a5220ed84ab174d5b476fece28bb0a5a80db6e165bd09db62b71293ef7b6fa84  
> ❌ Invalid argument: invalid transaction: transaction gas limit (0) is not in the acceptable range (min: 1, max: 9999)

How can I setup gas limit?

Any luck? I am getting the same.  
Not happening running against local.  
In `truffle.js`, there is a `gas` parameter to specify this. Was hoping `flow.json` to have the same.  
[https://docs.onflow.org/flow-cli/send-transactions](https://docs.onflow.org/flow-cli/send-transactions) does specify a `--gas` option, but I dont know where to stick it really.

I think it could be closed due to [Add Gas Limit Default by sideninja · Pull Request #374 · onflow/flow-cli · GitHub](https://github.com/onflow/flow-cli/pull/374), I have it worked with an updated flow-cli.
