Tried to run with pycharm, got 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'read'

[vizakenjaro]

I placed shreddit.cfg and shreddit.py on the desktop folder (OS X).
Then run it under IDE environment called PyCharm.
Installed modules yaml and praw.

Got error:
(line 50 in shreddit.py)
config.read(args.config)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'read'

Pulled to latest?

[vizakenjaro]

What?

It looks like config is just set to None right before read is called. Previously config was being set to simpleconfigparser(), but that's no longer being imported.

I ran it without the -c shreddit.yml args and it worked for me (python ./shreddit.py instead of python ./shreddit.py -c shreddit.yml)...

Ah I maybe missed something there, will check later.

Looks like a simple fix. I edited the code and changed around line 50:

config = None
if args.config:
    config.read(args.config)
else:
    with open('shreddit.yml', 'r') as fh:
        config = yaml.safe_load(fh)
if config is None:
    raise Exception("No config options passed!")

to:

config = None
if args.config:
    with open(args.config, 'r') as fh:
      config = yaml.safe_load(fh)
    #config.read(args.config)
else:
    with open('shreddit.yml', 'r') as fh:
        config = yaml.safe_load(fh)
if config is None:
    raise Exception("No config options passed!")

Note that adding the "with open(args.config, 'r' as fh:" line will open the config file you pass.

Hey there, this should be fixed by #54

Merged (can't test at the moment but looks like it should work).

Pull again @vizakenjaro and see if that works for you.

Thanks as well @Tjololo12.
