Error in loading db module from firebase_admin: "...unexpected arguement 'status'"

[russellromney]

Environment:

• OS X 10.14.3
• firebase-admin 2.15.1
• python 3.6.7 with Anaconda

Steps to reproduce:

from firebase_admin import db

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

     32 import firebase_admin
---> 33 from firebase_admin import _http_client
     34 from firebase_admin import _sseclient
     35 from firebase_admin import _utils

---> 30     raise_on_status=False, backoff_factor=0.5)
     31 
     32 

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'status'

I've tried this in a jupyter notebook and in the inline client. Someone else has the error on stackoverflow as well

I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not have all the information required by the template. Looks like you forgot to fill out some sections. Please update the issue with more information.

Your runtime is picking up an old version of urllib3. You can check which version gets picked by running:

>>> import requests
>>> from requests.packages import urllib3
>>> urllib3.__version__
'1.24.1'

@hiranya911 I'm having the same issue, and my version of urllib3 is up-to-date. Furthermore, the __init___ method doesn't accept an argument 'status'.

[hiranya911]

I just commented on Stackoverflow as well. Retry.__init__() definitely accepts a status parameter. It has supported that argument since 1.21.0 release which went out in 2017.

• Code from the v1.21.0 release tag: https://github.com/urllib3/urllib3/blob/1.21/urllib3/util/retry.py#L152
• Pull request that implemented the status feature from 2017: Add 'status' counter for 'status_forcelist' urllib3/urllib3#1148

You may have a recent version of urllib3 installed in the system, but that's not what your Python code/runtime picks up.

[hiranya911]

Try running the following as part of your program somewhere and see what happens:

import requests
from requests.packages import urllib3
print(urllib3.__version__)

Thanks @hiranya911 ! You're right, print(urllib3.__version__) returns 1.20, apparently because that specific urllib3 package, located inside the requests package, is out of date. The urllib3 package I've been upgrading like a crazy person is the standalone one outside of requests.

However, I've tried upgrading the requests module as well, but this doesn't seem to upgrade its version of urllib3. Please advise 🙏

[hiranya911]

@xujenna requests doesn't ship with urllib3 either. It just gets wired up to a urllib3 installation already present in the system. So somewhere in your environment there's a urllib3 1.20 already installed. You can do the following to see where it is installed:

import requests
from requests.packages import urllib3
print(urllib3.__file__)

Once you know where it's coming from perhaps you will be able to get rid of it, or figure out a way to upgrade it.

@hiranya911 Thank you so much!! This has been torturing me for days.

[russellromney]

@hiranya911 thank you very much! I had tried updating requests with pip and with conda but it had not worked. I used conda update urllib3 and restarting my Jupyter kernels.

@xujenna Hi! Did you manage to find a way to upgrade or replace the v1.20.0 once you found it?
