obj can be None, but not checked.

[jensens]

The result of unrestrictedTraverse might be None. But the code does not check it. If for some reason the path is wrong the code fails:

plone.exportimport/src/plone/exportimport/utils/content/core.py

Lines 62 to 64 in cfeccda

	obj = portal.unrestrictedTraverse(path, default=None)
	# Check if the found object has the expected uid
	obj = obj if api.content.get_uuid(obj) == uid else None

In the other failure path the function returns None - this should be the case here too.
