ASF subversion and git services commented on AIRFLOW-1177: ---------------------------------------------------------- Commit 6069075a7523794f626148b99992687e56e447b8 in incubator-airflow's branch refs/heads/v1-8-test from [~ashb] [ https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-airflow.git;h=6069075 ] [AIRFLOW-1177] Fix Variable.setdefault w/existing JSON Previously due to a logic error if you attempt to use `Variable.setdefault()` with `deserialize_json=True` and the value already existed it would die with: ... my = Variable.setdefault('regions', ['uk'], deserialize_json=True) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/site- packages/airflow/models.py", line 3623, in setdefault return json.loads(obj.val) AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'val' The problem was that the `Variable.get()` call was returning the value, not a variable object.
