KeyError: 'name'
Error message
KeyError: 'name'
What broke
The error occurred when trying to access a dictionary using the key 'name'. This means that the key does not exist in the dictionary at the time of access.
Why it broke
This broke because the code attempted to retrieve a value from a dictionary using a key that is not present. This can happen if the key was misspelled, not added to the dictionary, or if the dictionary was modified before the access.
How to fix
To fix this, ensure that the key 'name' exists in the dictionary before accessing it. You can use the `get` method to safely retrieve the value or check for the key's existence using an if statement.
