Ruby iControl throwing non-descript soap fault on NodeAddressV2.create

So I'm receiving a soap fault when I try and create a node. If anyone could help me out with a diagnosis I'd really appreciate it!!

bigip = F5::IControl.new('*******', '*******', '*******', ['LocalLB.Pool', 'LocalLB.NodeAddressV2'])  
interfaces = bigip.get_interfaces  
interfaces['LocalLB.NodeAddressV2'].create ['test'], ['test.test.com'], [0]

Throws the error:

SOAP::FaultError: Exception caught in LocalLB::urn:iControl:LocalLB/NodeAddressV2::create()
Common::InvalidArgument

    The error stated InvalidArgument which implies that one of the arguments was not correct. Looking at the method prototype

    LocalLB.NodeAddressV2.create(
    in String [] nodes,
    in String [] addresses,
    in long [] limits
);

    the second parameter is the address for the NodeAddress. In this method, it's an IP Address and you are passing in a domain name string. You'll have to change the second parameter to the IP address of the node you are attempting to create.
