Function Compute (2.0):What do I do if the following error occurs when I invoke functions in Python: NoneType object has no attribute split?

Last Updated:Jul 11, 2023

Causes

A function handler is incorrectly defined. For example, a function handler in Python event functions contains an HTTP trigger.

Solutions

Define your function handler based on the following function types:

  • Python event functions. For more information, see Overview.

    def handler(event, context):
            return 'hello world'
  • Python HTTP functions. For more information, see Python HTTP functions.

    def handler(environ, start_response):
            context = environ['fc.context']
            # get request_body
            try:
                request_body_size = int(environ.get('CONTENT_LENGTH', 0))
            except (ValueError):
                request_body_size = 0
            request_body = environ['wsgi.input'].read(request_body_size)
            print('request_body: {}'.format(request_body))
            # do something here
    
            status = '200 OK'
            response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain')]
            start_response(status, response_headers)
            # return value must be iterable
            return [b"Hello world!\n"]

Causes

The logic of an HTTP function is invalid. For example, the start_response parameter is not called in the function. The following code provides an example:

def handler(environ, start_response):
        # do something here

        status = '200 OK'
        response_headers = [('Content-type', 'text/plain')]
        # forget to call start_response
        # start_response(status, response_headers)
        # return value must be iterable
        return [b"Hello world!\n"]

Solutions

Modify the logic of your HTTP function based on the function handler and deployment framework of Python HTTP functions. For more information, see Python HTTP functions.

Causes

Returned values are set to non-iterable bytes in the Python 3 runtime environment.

Solutions

Set the returned value to iterable bytes. Example: [json.dumps(result).encode()].

The following example demonstrates how to modify the function code:

import json
def handler(environ, start_response):
        # do something here
        result = {"code": "OK"}

        status = '200 OK'
        response_headers = [('Content-type', 'application/json')]
        start_response(status, response_headers)
        # return value must be iterable
        return  [json.dumps(result).encode()]
