rite_api.write('bucket', 'org', points, write_precision=WritePrecision.US)

Expected behavior

write to influxdb

Actual behavior

Hi,

init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'method_whitelist'

This error generally means that you provided a keyword argument "method_whitelist" into a function, but that function does not know what to do with that argument. I did not see "method_whitelist" anywhere in the code.

Client Version: 1.24.0

This is pretty old, I would suggest updating to v1.36.0 in case this was an issue on a previous version.

[ronytigo]

it's on write_api.py:

   def to_retry_strategy(self, **kwargs):
        """
        Create a Retry strategy from write options.

        :key retry_callback: The callable ``callback`` to run after retryable error occurred.
                             The callable must accept one argument:
                                - `Exception`: an retryable error
        """
        return WritesRetry(
            total=self.max_retries,
            retry_interval=self.retry_interval / 1_000,
            jitter_interval=self.jitter_interval / 1_000,
            max_retry_delay=self.max_retry_delay / 1_000,
            max_retry_time=self.max_retry_time / 1_000,
            exponential_base=self.exponential_base,
            retry_callback=kwargs.get("retry_callback", None),
            method_whitelist=["POST"])

I'll try the newer version.
