Bigquery table_list is empty

[msj121]

When I run the following line of code:
edx2bigquery daily_logs --tlfn=/edx/var/log/tracking/tracking.log-20180206-1517905021.gz --year2

I get an error:

[bqutil] get_tables: oops! dataset=MH__cs102__2018_T1_logs, no table info in {
    "totalItems": 0, 
    "kind": "bigquery#tableList", 
    "etag": "\"OaENgf7ForUUnkbYWwdbr4aJHYs/GDY03j5JT_nnnnnn-RBL5f-z_J0\""
}

The error occurs at

edx2bigquery/edx2bigquery/bqutil.py

Line 114 in 0a4fd85

print "[bqutil] get_tables: oops! dataset=%s, no table info in %s" % (dataset_id, json.dumps(table_list, indent=4))

When I go to bigquery in my gcp, it shows the dataset MH__cs102__2018_T1_logs, but without any tables.

Do I need to run a specific command to setup bigquery first? I just assumed this command would copy the necessary data to bigquery.
