Type Error in Development Server When Logging in

[gadgster]

Hello,

The first time I ran GAE Boilerplate, I clicked on login using your Google account and got a type error:

File "models.py", line 35, in <lambda> full_name = ndb.ComputedProperty(lambda self: self.name + " " + self.last_name) TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'

I fixed this by changing line 35 in models.py to:

full_name = ndb.ComputedProperty(lambda self: "{} {}".format(self.name, self.last_name,))

I'm not sure if that's actually fixing the problem or just avoiding it.

Thanks
Richard

Hi,
I'm guessing you don't actually have a "name" or "last_name" since you signed in with google. I sort of got round this in my application by having a display name too and never refer to full name directly since I always want to show something.
@Property
def display_name(self):
if self.name or self.last_name:
return self.full_name
else:
return self.username

hope that helps,
I should really get round to sticking some of my updates onto my fork :)

I think changing line 35 of models.py to:

full_name = ndb.ComputedProperty(lambda self: "{} {}".format(self.name, self.last_name,))

Would fix this.
