There is a line of code that should be removed from the main website documentation + there is a function call with the wrong datatypes being passed in..

Documentation issue

at the bottom of the page "6.9. Tying the nodes together" in start_chargen
the line "tmp_character.generate()
no ".generate()" method was made for TemporaryCharacterSheet at all during the tutorial. It causes an error, and the code works fine without it.

next, the "start_chargen" function's EvMenu looks like this:
EvMenu(caller, menutree, session=session, startnode="node_chargen", tmp_character=tmp_character)

tmp_character is passed in raw, and the node_chargen is expecting a dictionary:
def node_chargen(caller, raw_string, **kwargs):

tmp_character = kwargs["tmp_character"]

text = tmp_character.show_sheet()

#. . . . . . .

Suggested change

remove "tmp_character.generate()"

and

either make it so node_chargen is not expecting a dictionary and pass in tmp_character raw, or make it so that it gets put into a dictionary first and pass that through the start_chargen's EvMenu.

1. Looks like the tmp_character.generate() was a leftover from a previous version. Removed it!
2. Do you actually see an error from the tmp_character? Because this is how this is meant to be used - all additional kwargs to EvMenu becomes available in the **kwargs of the start node.

If fixed 1, but unless I missed something, I think 2 is correct. I will close this ticket, feel free to ping to re-open if I misunderstood the second issue.
