unexpected keyword argument 'cache_file'

[Darkproduct]

Using lexicon on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Installed like this: sudo apt install lexicon with version 3.3.17-1.

With: lexicon provider list domain A

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lexicon", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('dns-lexicon==3.3.17', 'console_scripts', 'lexicon')()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lexicon/cli.py", line 115, in main
    client = Client(config)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lexicon/client.py", line 45, in __init__
    domain_extractor = tldextract.TLDExtract(cache_file=TLDEXTRACT_CACHE_FILE,
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'cache_file'

Not sure what is going on here. I don't use python and this is an almost fresh VM, so I don't think this is a dependency issue on my end.

I see this error as well on version 3.5.3, from test_clients and test_library tests in my debian buster build environment.

My problem is that the syntax for the tldextract dependency was changed from cache_file to cache_dir. If I change this back to cache_file, it works. Maybe you can also have a look to your tldextract version. The 2.x uses cache_file, the 3.x cache_dir.

@Darkproduct

Indeed, tldextract 3.x uses the cache_dir directive. However on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, only tldextract 2.x is available, so Lexicon in version 3.3.17 should still work. Have you install some packages with other tools than apt/apt-get?

[adferrand]

@henningw for you it is the contrary: Lexicon 3.5.3 migrated to use cache_dir along with tldextract 3.x, but only 2.x is present for buster. Since you are on the edge, I think I can provide a new version to make Lexicon compatible with both tldextract 2.x and 3.x to be compatible with buster OS packages.

@adferrand thanks for the reply, i already created the one liner patch, but a version that could support both versions would be great. I also adapted my build to not depend on poetry by converting it to setuptools, as this is also not available on buster.

Hi, am struggling with this also on my RPi 3b. @henningw what was the patch you applied? @adferrand , is it possible to release a version with a fix that will work for both? Happy to test out anything if it helps!

[adferrand]

What is the version of Lexicon you are using ? Normally I fixed that with version 3.5.4.

Ah, was 3.3.28 - apologies for the noise!
