AttributeError: 'HTTPClient' object has no attribute 'import_csv'

[johnnuttall]

I have been using gspread 5.12.4 with the following code without issue for some time.

I updated to 6.0.2 today and I am now receiving this message

AttributeError: 'HTTPClient' object has no attribute 'import_csv'

Rolling back to 5.12.4 (with no other changes), results in the csv uploading as expected.

dir(sh) gives (no import_csv) listed, although on 5.12.4 i do see "import_csv"

To Reproduce
try to call the client.import_csv() function

result:
AttributeError: 'HTTPClient' object has no attribute 'import_csv'

Expected behavior
the import_csv function is available

Code example*

with open(secretFile, 'r') as f:
     secretFileJson = f.read()
serviceAcctDict     = json.loads(secretFileJson)
gc 			= gspread.service_account_from_dict(serviceAcctDict)
sh 			= gc.open('testTemps')
with open('mycsv.csv', 'r') as f:
    content = f.read()
sh.client.import_csv(sh.id, data=content)

Screenshots

Environment info:

• Operating System [e.g. Linux, Windows, macOS]: Linux Mint, RaspberryOS
• Python version: Python 3.10.12 and Python 3.9.2
• gspread version 6.0.2 (has problem) 5.12.4 (is ok)

Stack trace or other output that would be helpful

Hi thank you for raising this issue. We will update the project soon, it will be back soon.

Hi! Thanks for the issue. In v6 the Client object got moved around a lot. Sorry for this breaking your code.

Here is a fix you can use:

with open(secretFile, 'r') as f:
     secretFileJson = f.read()
serviceAcctDict     = json.loads(secretFileJson)
gc 			= gspread.service_account_from_dict(serviceAcctDict)
sh 			= gc.open('testTemps')
with open('mycsv.csv', 'r') as f:
    content = f.read()
-sh.client.import_csv(sh.id, data=content)
+gc.import_csv(sh.id, data=content)

If that does not work do let me know. In the meanwhile we will attempt to ensure the previous behaviour is backwards-compatible :)

That SOLVED it. Thank you 👍
