Description:

=== BEGIN ===
import mysql.connector
from mysql.connector import fabric

# Address of the Fabric, not the host we are going to connect to.
conn = mysql.connector.connect(
    fabric={"host" : "localhost", "port" : 32274,
            "username": "admin", "password" : "admin1"
           },
    user="fabricapp", password="fabricapp1", database="test", autocommit=False
)

conn.start_transaction()
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("INSERT INTO test.authors (authorId, name) VALUES (123, 'Bob')")
conn.commit()
=== END ===

[root@ip-172-30-3-220 ~]# python transaction.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "transaction.py", line 12, in <module>
    conn.start_transaction()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mysql/connector/fabric/connection.py", line 1272, in __getattr__
    return getattr(self._mysql_cnx, attr)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'start_transaction'

How to repeat:
See above sample code

Suggested fix:
Properly implement according to the documentation.

This issue belongs to the Connector/Python category, not MySQL Fabric.
Category changed.

Hi Matthew,
The connection is invalid, the conn variable is None, that's why it doesn't have  the 'start_transaction' method.
Can you please check if you are providing the correct connection values?
