[users at bb.net] exceptions.AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'broker'

[Wayne Marsh]

Hey all,

I'm trying to run the SVN hooks so that individual developer branches can
run the tests before merging into branch.  This is done by checking the
commit message for a keyword and then running the Python script with the
appropriate values ( repo, project, server, port etc )

I'm running 0.8.12 on FreeBSD 10.1 without docker and without virtual
environment/snadbox.  It's on a dedicated VM.


An exception is happening in either Twisted I believe and it's not actually
running a test.  Does anyone have any insight what I may be doing wrong, or
when this may have broken?  Possibly a fix, or a version of Twisted that is
known to work with 0.8.12.  I spent 2 or 3 days trying to Google for this
without any success.
