I have know clue what is wrong with my collada exporter. I try exporting a simple cube and here's the error that I get. Something about an attribute error.

Any idea's on what's going on here? Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, this plugin is dead for all Blender versions that don't use it's associated python generation. This is actually pretty common. As anyone who's been in the 3d community a while can attest, often developers get bored updating their scripts and modules and slowly abandon them.

Not real sure why they included it with 249. Maybe for sentimental purposes. But don't give up hope, collada is extremely popular so inevitably someone will take up the cause. In the meantime rolling back your py/blender package seems to be the only option.
