Cannot add target-level dependencies to non-existent target

CMake Error at /opt/ros/kinetic/share/catkin/cmake/test/tests.cmake:114 (add_dependencies):
  Cannot add target-level dependencies to non-existent target
  "_run_tests_mynode".

  The add_dependencies works for top-level logical targets created by the
  add_executable, add_library, or add_custom_target commands.  If you want to
  add file-level dependencies see the DEPENDS option of the add_custom_target
  and add_custom_command commands.

The name of the node was run_tests_mynode, the cryptic error goes away and compiles fine once you rename you node to something that does not include run_tests_ as its starting of the name. Probably a bug but I posted here for visibility since I wasted about 45 mins in this issue myself.
