Yes, where you are defining "test" some of the items in that list are hash
tables that don't have a value for "base", which is why you are getting
that error.
Easiest would be to set it to empty string when it does not apply.
However, it's a little weird that it says "str object", which seems to
imply you have, probably in that "dirs" variable file, refined the variable
"test" to a list of strings, as opposed to a list of hash elements.
