VariantFiltration warning "undefined variable"

When I run

./gatk VariantFiltration -R genome.fasta -V vcf_file.vcf -o outfit_vcf.vcf --filter-expression "QD <2.0" --filter-name "qdthres"

I get a warning:

undefined variable QD

The same happens when I use MQ, FS, MQRankSum

It cannot be the 30th lines of the VCF: there is no ##INFO, no ##FORMAT etc.
