Hi,
I have the following SkinScript (greatly simplified):
WITH Parties.getPersonForEmail(self.id) COMPUTE
party=RESULT
WITH self.party COMPUTE
member_id=email
If getPersonForEmail returns None, the second clause returns
AttributeError: party. If I change the first clause to party=RESULT
or '', I can change the second to:
WITH (self.party is not '') and self.party.email or '' COMPUTE
member_id=RESULT
But this is both ugly and bad - in the real script I have many
clauses using party, so repeating this nonsense in all of them is
very wasteful, and also it would be better if party is set to None
when a Person is not found. But if party is set to None, the DataSkin
considers it to be undefined, so I can't do WITH (self.party is not
_.None)...
Is there any nicer way of preventing AttributeErrors in clauses that
try to access an attribute that was set to None?
TIA, Itai
