AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name' When trying to Import sprites

[alcalyn]

I just installed Blender 2.80 and Coa Tools 2.0.0.

When I try to import sprites, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/alcalyn/.config/blender/2.80/scripts/addons/coa_tools/operators/import_sprites.py", line 212, in execute
    sprite_object.name = sprite_data["name"]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'name'

To reproduce:

• Create a new project, "General"
• Press space to find "import sprites" and click it
• Select a json file created with gimp exporter, or select any image
• Select either "New" or "Update existing", bug happens for both

Expected:

My sprites are imported

Currently:

I get this error.

I looks like functions.get_sprite_object(context.active_object) returns None.

Same when I "Add armature" first, context.active_object is an instance of Armature (<bpy_struct, Object("Armature")>), but get the same error.

Also, when I got in "Pose mode", I get a different error when importing sprites:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/alcalyn/.config/blender/2.80/scripts/addons/coa_tools/operators/import_sprites.py", line 407, in execute
    context.space_data.shading.type = "RENDERED"
AttributeError: 'Space' object has no attribute 'shading'

Well I found how to use it.

Finally I have found the COA tools menu, it has changed from v1.4.

In 3D view, I had to open the menu at right, the little "<". Then I have the COA tools tab, where I can "Create a new sprite object". Then I recognize the menu, and I can import sprites.
