Error when trying to add a natural BC with Poisson solver

[bknight1]

Describe the bug When adding natural BCs:

A_diffusion.add_natural_bc([0], mesh.boundaries.Left.name)
A_diffusion.add_natural_bc([0], mesh.boundaries.Right.name)
A_diffusion.add_natural_bc([0], mesh.boundaries.Top.name)
A_diffusion.add_natural_bc([0], mesh.boundaries.Bottom.name)

When attempting to solve, I get the following error:

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

AttributeError: 'NaturalBC' object has no attribute 'fn_F'

Looking through dev, it looks like NaturalBC has attribute 'fn_f' and EssentialBC is 'fn', although I may be wrong.

I'm trying to set zero flux on each boundary for the multicomponent diffusion benchmark

[lmoresi]

OK - I'll take a look - but shouldn't a zero flux be the same as no BC ?

[bknight1]

It should be. I had missed something when setting up my terms that's why it wasn't solving, not the BCs.
