I am calling a block 

 $this->getLayout()->createBlock('Amasty_Shopby_Block_List')

that has this in its default method

 $attribute  = Mage::getModel('catalog/resource_eav_attribute')
            ->loadByCode($entityTypeId, $this->getAttributeCode());

I need to set the block so that getAttributeCode returns 'manufacturer' adding 

->setAttribute('manufacturer')

is not working any ideas?

Reset to default

Instead of ->setAttribute('manufacturer') use ->setAttributeCode('manufacturer')
Just make sure the method getAttributeCode does not exist.

I found a similar post where setData does not work. Here is the link:-ref link.

May be this can help you as you have mentioned in comment that below code is not working. $this->getLayout()->createBlock('Amasty_Shopby_Block_List')->setData('attribute‌​_code', 'manufacturer');
