phrasematcher attr='LOWER' fails initialization when used in a pipeline

[larrymccutchan]

How to reproduce the behaviour

Using the example provided in https://spacy.io/usage/processing-pipelines#custom-components-attributes for RESCountriesComponents.

Update the matcher to the following:
self.matcher = PhraseMatcher(nlp.vocab, attr="LOWER") # set the LOWER attrib instead of ORTH

The failure is the following:
ValueError: [E109] Component 'rest_countries' could not be run. Did you forget to call initialize()?
File /databricks/python/lib/python3.10/site-packages/spacy/language.py:1049, in Language.call(self, text, disable, component_cfg)
1048 try:
-> 1049 doc = proc(doc, **component_cfg.get(name, {})) # type: ignore[call-arg]
1050 except KeyError as e:
1051 # This typically happens if a component is not initialized
File /databricks/python/lib/python3.10/site-packages/spacy/language.py:1052, in Language.call(self, text, disable, component_cfg)
1049 doc = proc(doc, **component_cfg.get(name, {})) # type: ignore[call-arg]
1050 except KeyError as e:
1051 # This typically happens if a component is not initialized
-> 1052 raise ValueError(Errors.E109.format(name=name)) from e
1053 except Exception as e:
1054 error_handler(name, proc, [doc], e)

Please close this. I figured out the problem and it was NOT concerning the attr="LOWER" but was another bug in the code I was using.
