Motivation
Because #995 added a
__getattr__method toMobject, all incorrect accesses to a mobject's attributes goes through that method, but the resulting error does not have an accompanying message (sorry). This fixes that.Overview / Explanation for Changes
Adds an error message to the error raised at the end of
__getattr__. It usesf"{self} ..."to take advantage of mobjects' custom representations, particularly withTextandTexand such which include their content in their representation.Oneline Summary of Changes
Testing Status
