Hi, I am currently working on my college project where I am using blockcerts on ethereum_ropsten network. After all the configuration, when I try to issue the cerificate it throws AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘split’. When I dug down a bit more into the code, i found that there were no commands regarding conversion of signed_tx to signed_hextx. Can that be a reason for the error. Any help is appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a stack trace and complete log that you could share? I haven’t seen this error myself with ethereum.
Hi @aronning, sorry for responding late, my semester exams are going on 
, here’s the complete log which I get in my terminal:

AttributeError: 'dict' object has no attribute 'split'So it looks like this is the real reason for the error. The signed transaction had a problem getting generated correctly (and no error handling here) which causes the verifying ethDataField value for transaction to throw an error later on.
I’ve never seen this error before, wonder what could be wrong generating the transaction. Would you mind posting your config file?
Hi,
I have the same error. Here’s my config file:
issuing_address = 0x2bF81856b6d2243Ed85bA2b937adAFB21341556C
chain = ethereum_ropsten
usb_name=/Users/jenilthakker/Desktop/Coding/blockchain-certificate/ethereum
key_file=pk

blockchain_certificates_dir=/Users/jenilthakker/Desktop/Coding/cert-issuer/data/blockchain_certificates
work_dir=/Users/jenilthakker/Desktop/Coding/cert-issuer/data/work
no_safe_mode
Are you using the default certificates to test out or did you create/edit your own?
Anyone found the solution, I’m still facing the same issue?
I’m facing the same issue, tried both with the default certificates and also with my own certificated (edit the example certificates and put my own key).

AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute 'split’
The AttributeError is an exception thrown when an object does not have the attribute you tried to access. ‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘split’ error is that you’re trying to call python split function on the dict , and you can’t split dict elements, only a string. The string consists of a sequence of comma-separated bindings.
