AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'update' in Django client when using Zappa

[wjdp]

Python: 3.6 Django: 2.0.5 Raven: 6.8.0

When running manage.py raven test I get the following.

Client configuration:
  base_url       : https://sentry.io
  project        : ***
  public_key     : ***
  secret_key     : ***

When raising a dummy exception in a view I see no sentry specific logs and get no events in Sentry.

Are you using Zappa? Had the same issue, fix was...

"transport": "raven.transport.requests.RequestsHTTPTransport" in your RAVEN_CONFIG.

In your zappa_settings.json you want "app_function": "project.wsgi" going to your Django wsgi.py file.

And in wsgi.py you want something like this:

import os

from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
from raven.middleware import Sentry

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "project.settings")

application = Sentry(get_wsgi_application())

@nickday I am indeed, I'll give the above a try, thanks!

Is this issue pretty new? I just realized sentry was not sending alerts.
