AttributeError: 'CrowdAnkiExport' object has no attribute 'note_models'

When cloning the starter project, deleting build/, and trying to build it, I get

Interesting. CrowdAnkiExports should definitely have a note_model :sweat_smile: I will look into this shortly

I just cloned the starter project, deleted Build/, and ran brainbrew run recipes/source_to_anki.yaml with no issues :thinking:

This is a rather strange error. I can not see in the code how note_models could generate this error, as it does indeed exist :thinking: (by my understanding it is complaining there is no variable on the class called note_models, not that it is not instantiated)

Could you try on Python 3.7.10? That is what Brain Brew is specified towards. Though I would not expect a later version to do this.

Barring that, if you could try again with a fresh repo, and detail every step you take (in case any were missed) that would be great.

Aha, I can recreate the issue! I get the exact same error

Steps:

1. Delete the build folder
2. Run anki_to_source.yaml instead of source_to_anki.yaml

:sweat_smile: easy mistake to make, but it's essentially trying to make the source files (the csvs) from a non-existing CrowdAnki file. No clue why this results in such an error message, and I should look into fixing that :+1: But I believe your problem will be fixed by running source_to_anki.yaml :+1: Do let me know!
