Honeybee updateThisFile error

I know related issues have been discussed here many times, but I am not sure I understand how the update Honeybee component is supposed to work. I need to update an old Grasshopper file with components from the newest HB release. Do I have it correct that this is what "updateThisFile" is supposed to do? When I toggle this input to true, I get the following error:

Downloading the source code...
Runtime error (MissingMemberException): 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Objects'
Traceback:
line 133, in getAllTheComponents, "<string>"
line 278, in main, "<string>"
line 289, in script

I have dozens of HB components in this file and it would be tedious to update them one by one. I dropped new Honeybee and Update Honeybee components on the canvas.  Any help would be much appreciated!
