Hello,

I am using the GPS community edition to learn Ada on Win10. So far I 
have overcome the first obstacle but I constantly run into problems with 
Python when doing things in GPS that you would expect should just work 
and which are simply syntax errors in the Python scripts that come with 
GPS.I was able to fix the problems regarding the start of GDB but there 
are many others.

For instance: I create a procedure header in an ADS file then use the 
"Generate Body Of ..." from the context menu and I get this in the 
output window:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "D:\GNAT\2019\share\gps\support\core\gps_utils\__init__.py", 
line 352, in do
     r = callback()
   File "D:\GNAT\2019\share\gps\support\core\gnatstub.py", line 173, in 
generate_plain_body
     generate_body(as_separate=False)
   File "D:\GNAT\2019\share\gps\support\core\gnatstub.py", line 153, in 
generate_body
     command += x_args + [file.path, file.directory()]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'path'


I mean this is clearly a programming error in the Python scrip, right? 
How come they deliver GPS with obvious errors that should jump into 
everybody's face when using the IDE? Or is it just my installation and 
something is wrong on my end? Does it work better on Linux?

I mean I can work around this, but this really puzzles me. If it were 
some rare and esoteric bugs, OK, that happens to everybody but these are 
really too obvious

Thanks
