first time dev-install => AttributeError 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

[Stephen Bannasch]

I saw the bespin had started the work to integrate sproutcore and want to see how the work was progressing ...

I was following the instructions on this page to setup bespin:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Bespin/DeveloperGuide/Setup

and the process generated this error and stopped:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

Full console log here: http://gist.github.com/234380

My system is MacOS 10.5.8.

Here's the truncated version:

I have a similar setup and I just tried this myself. I'd say try it again. It's possible that this error may just be a bad way of reporting a problem with GitHub (where sproutcore is downloaded from).

For me, just now, I had no trouble getting past this initial setup step.

Hi Kevin,

I just deleted the whole bespin dir and tried again and got the same error:

mkdir bespin
cd bespin
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/bespinclient
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/labs/bespinserver
cd bespinclient
python bootstrap.py --no-site-package

Ends up generating this error on line 164, in _run_task in paver/tasks.py:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

on line 164 in:

lib/python2.5/site-packages/Paver-1.0.1-py2.5.egg/paver/tasks.py

I'm not that familiar with Python (or Paver) -- but it has the flavor of a missing library -- perhaps in my setup of Python... but I'm grasping at straws ???

Interesting! It looks like I was running it using Python 2.6, which appears to behave differently here than 2.5 (which is what Mac OS comes with).

I just checked in a change that tested fine for me using /usr/bin/python.

Thanks Kevin,

I updated and was able to complete the install and then start the server but dojo seems to be missing.

$ paver start

When I load the page: http://127.0.0.1:8080/

I get a long list of errors in the console starting with:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '../bespinclient/src/html/dojo/fx/easing.js'

There is actually no dojo library present:

[bespin]$ ls bespinclient/src/html

Here's the complete console log with all the errors -- perhaps getting dojo installed will fix most of them ... ?

Dojo is gone.

Try removing the tmp directory in bespinclient. I was able to reproduce these errors and then got it to work by removing the tmp directory.

Thanks again Kevin,

There doesn't appear to be a tmp dir in the tree:

[bespin]$ ls
bespinclient bespinserver

[bespin]$ find . -name tmp -type d


nothing was found ...

Strange.... a tmp directory is created by sc-server.

I noticed your sc-server output mentioned that it ran "thin" (mine is apparently using webrick). I'm not sure if there are any differences there. I wouldn't expect differences.

What I do know is that this morning after reading your email, I deleted abbot, frameworks/sproutcore and frameworks/tiki and then re-ran paver install_sproutcore. After doing that, I was getting errors just like the ones you got. I delete the tmp directory and it was fine.

Thin is another Ruby web server. If installed as a gem it will be used instead of webbrick, see: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Labs/Bespin/DeveloperGuide/Setup

I just realized that I'm generating the dojo errors opening the server running at 8080.

  ---> pavement.start
  serving on http://127.0.0.1:8080
  SproutCore v1.0.1033 Development Server
  Starting server at http://0.0.0.0:4020 in debug mode
  To quit sc-server, press Control-C

I looked at the first url and opened that and didn't notice the second for connecting to SproutCore.

If I instead connect to the SproutCore server running on 4020 I don't get Dojo errors (and a tmp/ directory is generated).

What is the server is running on 8080?

FYI, there are still many files that refer to Dojo:

Heh. That note was actually added to the Setup page after your earlier message. This was actually quite a handy thing to learn, as Thin is much faster.

aha! This makes sense. It's tempting to flop the ports... 4020 is the sproutcore standard port. sproutcore actually proxies server calls over to 8080, which is where the Bespin Python server runs.

Yeah, we have a lot of work to do still... All of those references are in files that are becoming plugins.
