AttributeError: 'NoneType' Object Has No Attribute 'get'
Introduction
Are you experiencing the frustrating error AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
while working with Roblox? This error can be particularly puzzling, especially when you're trying to create a new cube with your daughter. In this article, we'll delve into the possible causes of this error and provide you with a step-by-step guide to resolve it.
Understanding the Error
The AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
error occurs when the Python interpreter encounters a None
value where it expects an object with a get()
method. In the context of Roblox, this error typically arises when the create_instance
tool fails to retrieve the expected data from the Roblox API.
Analyzing the Log Output
Let's take a closer look at the log output provided:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\MF\MCPs\Roblox\vibe-blocks-mcp\src\roblox_mcp\server.py", line 720, in create_instance
instance_name = result.get('name', properties.get('Name', class_name))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
2025-05-03 17:33:28,205 - VibeBlocksMCPServer - INFO - Received 6 log entries from plugin at ::1
From the log output, we can see that the create_instance
tool is attempting to retrieve the name
attribute from the result
object. However, the result
object is None
, which is causing the AttributeError
.
Resolving the Error
To resolve this error, we need to ensure that the result
object is not None
before attempting to retrieve its attributes. Here are a few possible solutions:
Solution 1: Check if result is not None
if result is not None:
instance_name = result.get('name', properties.get('Name', class_name))
else:
# Handle the case where result is None
instance_name = class_name
Solution 2: Use the or operator
instance_name = result.get('name', properties.get('Name', class_name)) or class_name
Solution 3: Use a try-except block
try:
instance_name = result.get('name', properties.get('Name', class_name))
except AttributeError:
# Handle the case where result is None
instance_name = class_name
By implementing one of these solutions, we can prevent the AttributeError
from occurring and ensure that the create_instance
tool functions correctly.
Conclusion
Q: What is the AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get' error in Roblox?
A: The AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
error in Roblox occurs when the Python interpreter encounters a None
value where it expects an object with a get()
method. This error typically arises when the create_instance
tool fails to retrieve the expected data from the Roblox API.
Q: What are the possible causes of this error?
A: The possible causes of this error include:
- A
None
value being passed to a function that expects an object with aget()
method. - A missing or incorrect attribute in the
result
object. - A failure to retrieve the expected data from the Roblox API.
Q: How can I resolve this error?
A: To resolve this error, you can try the following solutions:
- Check if the
result
object is notNone
before attempting to retrieve its attributes. - Use the
or
operator to provide a default value if theresult
object isNone
. - Use a try-except block to catch the
AttributeError
exception and handle the case where theresult
object isNone
.
Q: What is the difference between a None
value and an empty object?
A: A None
value and an empty object are two different things. A None
value indicates that a variable or attribute has not been assigned a value, whereas an empty object is an object that has been created but contains no attributes or values.
Q: How can I check if an object is None
in Python?
A: You can check if an object is None
in Python using the is
operator or the ==
operator. For example:
if obj is None:
print("The object is None")
elif obj == {}:
print("The object is an empty dictionary")
Q: What is the or
operator in Python?
A: The or
operator in Python is a logical operator that returns the first truthy value it encounters. If both values are falsy, it returns the second value. For example:
result = None
instance_name = result.get('name', 'Default Name') or 'Default Name'
print(instance_name) # Output: Default Name
Q: How can I use a try-except block to catch the AttributeError
exception?
A: You can use a try-except block to catch the AttributeError
exception as follows:
try:
instance_name = result.get('name', properties.get('Name', class_name))
except AttributeError:
instance_name = class_name
By using a try-except block, you can catch the AttributeError
exception and handle the case where the result
object is None
.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'
error in Roblox can be caused a None
value being passed to a function that expects an object with a get()
method. By checking if the result
object is not None
or using the or
operator, you can resolve this error and ensure that the create_instance
tool functions correctly.
