local variable 'type_overall_status' referenced before assignment

I’m using 0.9.0 but this seems to be an issue in the repo too. I’m just using this project for the first time, so I suspect I have something else wrong, but there’s a variable that’s assigned with in an if elif which makes it possible to be undefined. The line that throws the exception is: https://github.com/mwarkentin/django-watchman/blob/master/watchman/views.py#L134

From the comments and a presentation I watched, it seems that the stacktrace should be a string, but the code seems to be checking for either a dict or a list.

well, if you’re interested in examples… here’s my finished checks for rabbitmq and celery:

from django.conf import settings
from watchman.decorators import check
from kombu import Connection
from celery.task.control import inspect


def better_check(func):
    def wrapped(*args, **kwargs):
        response = check(func)(*args, **kwargs)
        return {func.__name__: response}
    return wrapped

@better_check
def rabbitmq_connection_check():
    connection = Connection(settings.BROKER_URL)
    connection.connect()  # will throw an exception if can't connect
    is_connected = connection.connected
    connection.release()
    if not is_connected:
        raise Exception('rabbitmq could not be connected to')
    return {'ok': True}

@better_check
def celery_worker_check():
    insp = inspect()
    d = insp.stats()
    if not d:
        raise Exception('No running celery workers were found')
    return {'ok': True}
