AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'self_link' while Getting Launchpad credentials

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

During the "Getting Launchpad credentials" step in initial configuration, with lp-groundcontrol started from the command-line, the application crashes with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/GroundControl/gtkviews.py", line 311, in thread_through

This also affects me, I have attached my log and I am running ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid) .

[Dan Trevino (dantrevino)]

I'd post a log, but mine is the same as in the original report. Running Lucid and python 2.6.

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

I think I have a fix, but I need one of the people who have the error to try it out. You have to open up the launchpad.py file as root, go to line 159 and replace:

sudo gedit /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/GroundControl/launchpad.py

if obj == None:

with

if type(obj) == NoneType:

And test this problem again, hopefully it's because your all using a newer version of the rest interface that implements some context magic that we don't need. But it does look like the lazr rest client code needs fixing as you should be able to test if something is None without having to make it a rest object first.

If the fix works, I'll commit and update this bug.

[Luke Jennings (ubuntujenkins)]

I have changed the line of code and restarted. The terminal output is now

/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/GroundControl/gtkviews.py:86: GtkWarning: gtk_widget_grab_default: assertion `gtk_widget_get_can_default (widget)' failed
  self.w_tree.add_from_file(self.gapp_xml)

I have attached the latest log as well

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

Great, looks like it worked. If you wait a little for launchpad to finish doing it's thing, it should complete.

[Luke Jennings (ubuntujenkins)]

I should have said that i still can't login i.e.see my picture etc. Is that also in the fix?

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

This bug is fixed, I don't know why you can't log in, there are no errors. That warning you showed me is just a gtk warning, nothing about launchpadlib.

Keep trying.

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

Hmm. It does work for me as well, but with type(obj) == None, not type(obj) == NoneType.

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

Yes, that's my fault, I fixed it in my code but then pasted the wrong thing in. Sorry UnbuntuJenkins, I had you paste in the wrong thing.

GroundControl folder is in python2.7 in my machine. And the line 159 in launchpad.py is empty.

[Anant Gupta (anantzoid)]

I found the correct file in usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/GroundControl/launchpad.py
The line 159 was empty but found
 if Type(obj) == Type(None):
and edited it to
if Type(obj) == None :/NoneType :
No results.

No foleder named GroundControl exists in usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages and usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

Those files should have been installed with the package, what version of GroundControl are you using?

[Anant Gupta (anantzoid)]

Maybe the latest only. I used the following commands to download it:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:doctormo/groundcontrol
sudo apt-get install groundcontrol

And now after messing arounf with it a little bit, Ground control wouldn't star at all. If I try starting it with terminal:
lp-groundcontrol, it says
the program lp-groundcontrol is not currently installed

and from the GUI is says
Failed to execute chiled process "GroundControl"(No such file or directory)

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

OK you're using 1.6, don't worry about investigating 1.6, I've been working for a few months on version 2.0 and it's a complete rewrite.

If you'd like to download it and play with it, get it using:

bzr branch lp:groundcontrol
cd groundcontrol
./daemon.py

You should see an indicator in the corner. I'm still working on the designs for groundcontrol.py and you're welcome to look through it although it's not finished yet, it's supporting GitHub, Launchpad and others.

[Anant Gupta (anantzoid)]

I get the following on typing the commands:

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

You should make a new bug report to make sure thing

[Martin Owens (doctormo)]

You should make a new bug report to make sure things don't get confusing.

You need to install python-lxml

sudo apt-get install python-lxml

[Anant Gupta (anantzoid)]

This worked! Thanks!
