[Qgis-developer] python: QgsProject.instance() sometimes failing

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi, trying to test/upgrade the the Live Stats plugin, we encounter the
following error sometimes (it is hard to find out when exaclty):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/richard/.qgis2/python/plugins/liveStats/LSmain.py", line
154, in saveToFile

QgsProject.instance().writeEntry('LiveStats','SavedStats',saveStringsLists)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'instance'

So it seems that QgsProject evaluates to NoneType ???

Not sure when it exactly it happens, but obviously this should never be
the case is it?

Anybody an idea?

Regards,
