Hello,

 

I am trying to learn how to use this api, but I keep getting an error "Cannot get managaed object"

The line that it lists as the cause is the commented line 'self.percent = .05' so I am guessing it is one of the lines before or after it.

from other posts, it looks like this is caused by trying to use an object without prepending 'self' to it, but I don't think I have forgotten it anywhere.

Can someone please tell me what this error means and how to fix it?
