SubredditHelper.__call__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'other_subreddits'

[HaluanUskoa]

Describe the Bug

Encountered this error when attempting to subscribe to multiple subreddits at once:

TypeError("SubredditHelper.call() got an unexpected keyword argument 'other_subreddits'")

The docs mention that the other_subreddits parameter is accepted.

The Reddit docs also mention that the same parameter (called sr / sr_name on their end) is still accepted.

However, praw/models/reddit/subreddit.py and the error message above seem to indicate this has been deprecated within PRAW:

    @_deprecate_args("other_subreddits")
    def subscribe(self, *, other_subreddits: list[praw.models.Subreddit] | None = None):
        """Subscribe to the subreddit.

        :param other_subreddits: When provided, also subscribe to the provided list of
            subreddits.

        For example, to subscribe to r/test:

        .. code-block:: python

            reddit.subreddit("test").subscribe()

        """
        data = {
            "action": "sub",
            "skip_inital_defaults": True,
            "sr_name": self._subreddit_list(
                other_subreddits=other_subreddits, subreddit=self
            ),
        }
        self._reddit.post(API_PATH["subscribe"], data=data)

Desired Result

• Determine whether or not I'm doing something wrong.
• If not, determine whether this parameter has been deprecated within PRAW, and possibly have it added back since the Reddit API still seems to support it (unless it's been deprecated on their end but the docs don't reflect it yet).

Code to reproduce the bug

# Works
reddit.subreddit('pics').subscribe()

# Doesn't work
reddit.subreddit('pics', other_subreddits = ['funny', 'aww']).subscribe()

My code does not include sensitive credentials

• Yes, I have removed sensitive credentials from my code.

Relevant Logs

TypeError("SubredditHelper.__call__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'other_subreddits'")

This code has previously worked as intended

I'm not sure, I haven't used this code before.

No response

However, praw/models/reddit/subreddit.py and the error message above seem to indicate this has been deprecated within PRAW:

The positional usage of other_subreddits in .subscribe() is deprecated not the parameter itself.

The .subscribe() method you're referencing is where you need to pass in other_subreddits=["funny", "aww"] like so:

reddit.subreddit('pics').subscribe(other_subreddits=["funny", "aww"])

Oh, duh! Thanks. Completely blanked on the fact that the parameter was listed for subscribe() and not subreddit().
