Environment Variables not set

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'host'
or 
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'result'

This error is returned when Gradient can not access one to the environment variables that are required to return a recommendation. If you are using the CLI, make sure you have run

sync-cli configure

and that you have provided all the required values. If you are using the programatic Python interface, make sure the environment you working in has the following environment variable set:

DATABRICKS_TOKEN={{secrets/demo_workflow/db_token}}
SYNC_API_KEY_SECRET={{secrets/demo_workflow/sync_secret_access_key}}
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={{secrets/demo_workflow/aws_secret_access_key}}
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID={{secrets/demo_workflow/aws_access_key_id}}
SYNC_API_KEY_ID={{secrets/demo_workflow/sync_access_key_id}}
DATABRICKS_HOST=https://workspace.cloud.databricks.com/
