Current behavior 😯

Exception has occurred: AttributeError 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get' File "/media/kali/4b9de0e2-9707-470a-a3e1-2d9ecd620795/python_projects/AutoGPT/Auto-GPT/autogpt/config/ai_config.py", line 67, in load ai_name = config_params.get("ai_name", "") ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/media/kali/4b9de0e2-9707-470a-a3e1-2d9ecd620795/python_projects/AutoGPT/Auto-GPT/autogpt/prompt.py", line 173, in construct_prompt config = AIConfig.load(CFG.ai_settings_file) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/media/kali/4b9de0e2-9707-470a-a3e1-2d9ecd620795/python_projects/AutoGPT/Auto-GPT/autogpt/cli.py", line 126, in main system_prompt = construct_prompt() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/media/kali/4b9de0e2-9707-470a-a3e1-2d9ecd620795/python_projects/AutoGPT/Auto-GPT/run_autogpt.py", line 4, in main.autogpt.cli.main() AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

Expected behavior 🤔

It should not throw an error but error should be handled without exiting application.

here is one possible quick fix for it.

in directory: autogpt/ai_config.py

-    ai_name = config_params.get("ai_name", "")
-    ai_role = config_params.get("ai_role", "")
-    ai_goals = config_params.get("ai_goals", [])
-    return AIConfig(ai_name, ai_role, ai_goals)
+ try:
+            ai_name = config_params.get("ai_name", "")
+            ai_role = config_params.get("ai_role", "")
+            ai_goals = config_params.get("ai_goals", [])
+        except AttributeError:
+            ai_name = ""
+            ai_role = ""
+            ai_goals = []
+        finally:
+            # type: Type[AIConfig]
+            return AIConfig(ai_name, ai_role, ai_goals)

I have the similar/same issue running with MacBook M1 via the docker instructions from the setup documentation, fresh install as of today. MacOS 12.4, Docker Desktop v4.9.1 (updating soon). I found this ticket searching the issues for the final error line. Could just be a documentation update for setup instructions for us newbs is to provide more explicit listing of the Configuration files required and their location to create before running the image.
