Wizard broken: TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

It seems like you're encountering a TypeError in your code, specifically, 'NoneType' object is not iterable. This error typically occurs when you're trying to perform an operation (like iterating through a list) on a variable that is None, which means it doesn't have a value assigned to it.

Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially fix this issue:

  1. Check for Missing or Incorrect Assignments:

    • Ensure that the variable you're trying to iterate over actually contains a list or iterable. It might be accidentally assigned None instead of a list.
    • Double-check if the variable you're trying to iterate over has been initialized properly.
  2. Verify Function Returns:

    • If this error is happening in a function, make sure that all possible code paths return a valid value. It's possible that a branch of your code is not returning anything.
  3. Print Debugging:

    • Insert print statements in your code to understand the flow of execution and to identify where the None value is coming from.
  4. Check Function Return Types:

    • If you're calling a function that should return an iterable, ensure that it is returning the correct type. For example, if it's supposed to return a list, make sure it's not returning None.
  5. Handle Edge Cases:

    • Implement checks to handle edge cases where the variable might be None. For instance, use conditional statements (if/else) to handle situations where a value is not available.
  6. Traceback:

    • Look at the traceback to identify the specific line where the error is occurring. This will help pinpoint the source of the issue.

If you provide a specific snippet of your code, I might be able to give you more targeted advice on how to fix the issue.
