AttributeError: 'Endpoint' object has no attribute '_name'

[carver]

What was wrong?

Code that produced the error

I guess a broadcast call from an endpoint created with Endpoint().

Full error output

future: <Task finished coro=<Endpoint.broadcast() done, defined at .../lahja/endpoint.py:405> exception=AttributeError("'Endpoint' object has no attribute '_name'",)>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "..../lahja/endpoint.py", line 412, in broadcast

    return self._name
AttributeError: 'Endpoint' object has no attribute '_name'

Environment

v0.12.0

How can it be fixed?

Either the name should be required on init, or _name shouldn't be required at all (maybe an internally generated one, if necessary).

I think I prefer not needing a name

I think that's old code. nuke your lahja and then re-install from dev requirements. I think the git requirement that is in there right now doesn't replace an existing install

#75 is the PR that makes name a constructor of Endpoint

👍 just wanted to capture it against v0.12.0. Didn't try master. Will close as fixed.
