UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'channel_name' where it is not associated with a value

Hi.

Sadly I'm not sure how to exactly reproduce the error, but we somehow get UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'channel_name' where it is not associated with a value raised from here.

Looking at the code above it, it seems the code fails here, meaning the channel_name variable is not initialized yet.

This seems to hide the true error which is a bit unfortunate.

If I see it correctly we could just move channel_name = uuid4().hex one line up and then should be fine?

Thanks for having a look.

I see what your saying but won't help avoid the SSHException your already hitting to be in that block. I've created a PR to let you test if that fixes your issue since your not providing much to go on in the form of context surrounding what is going on before hitting the Exception block.

Sorry for not having a clear reproduction - we only observe this error from time to time and are not sure about the root cause.

But I tweaked some things locally and the true error (e.g. paramiko.ssh_exception.SSHException) instead of UnboundLocalError is raised when applying the changes from your PR. So all good to merge from my side, thanks a lot for the quick fix!
