What help do you need specifically? What have you tried that hasn't worked?

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 9:01 PM

#

I am seeking help of Stripe team over at glitch.com/@jaunty smelt since they must have encountered this before

How do I fix this errors

#

Are you a developer?

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 9:10 PM

#

relatively new to dev work

orchid crow Oct 27, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

Okay, so what have you tried so far to fix the errors?

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 9:19 PM

#

I have tried different installations of Python versions.

In 2 months, this is my 5th attempt trying to have this addressed directly by the Stripe team of glitch.com/@jaunty smelt

I have tried also communicating with senior devs in the glitch community forum itself. No response.

I have also tried my luck with a dev with a PhD. No response.

#

Which specific code are you trying to run?

#

There's a lot of different code at https://glitch.com/@Stripe

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 9:41 PM

#

This Python Flask version https://glitch.com/~flask-python3

with this Flask code https://github.com/stripe-samples/connect-onboarding-for-express

Can you share the code that's throwing the errors above?

orchid crow Can you share the code that's throwing the errors above?

orchid crow Oct 27, 2021, 9:52 PM

#

Okay, so the error is coming from line 21. That line is doing a lot of things at once. If you add code above line 21 to log the result of each part of line 21 that might narrow things down. For example, if you log the value of os.getenv("STATIC_DIR") is the value what you expect?

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 9:59 PM

#

How do I "log the value"?

orchid crow Oct 27, 2021, 10:03 PM

#

You can use print()

#

So print(os.getenv("STATIC_DIR")) above line 21; what does the output look like?

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 10:09 PM

#

This way? Or

#

Or this way?

orchid crow Oct 27, 2021, 10:11 PM

#

The first one.

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 10:14 PM

#

first one has this "None"

orchid crow Oct 27, 2021, 10:14 PM

#

Okay, so that's likely the issue. It sounds like that environment variable isn't set.

#

That's probably leading to the type error at the bottom about NoneType.

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 10:19 PM

#

How do I set the environment variable?
What specifically is the environment variable; is it a number; is it a Flask command?

orchid crow Oct 27, 2021, 10:21 PM

#

You can read about environment variables and how to use them in Python here: https://pythontect.com/python-os-getenv-method-tutorial/

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 10:22 PM

#

copy on this, though

#

though will I able to set the said environment variable as just a plain user of glitch.com? Or does it require higher level privileges?

still portal Oct 27, 2021, 10:30 PM

#

Yes, you should be able to set environment variables with glitch: https://support.glitch.com/t/how-do-i-set-environment-variables/3921

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 10:37 PM

#

oh you both mean the " .env file" !?

#

in glitch.com

still portal Oct 27, 2021, 10:40 PM

#

Yes, the .env file is where you would set environment variables

onyx pine Oct 27, 2021, 10:40 PM

#

copy

#

@orchid crow @still portal

I have no further questions at this time.
