AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'from_settings_file'

• I have checked that the [SDK documentation][sdk-docs] and [API documentation][api-docs] doesn’t solve my issue

Description of the Issue

I am getting the error: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'from_settings_file'

My complete code:

from boxsdk import JWTAuth, Client
auth = JWTAuth.from_settings_file('/home/joel/peroorkada/staticfiles/conf/box.json')
client = Client(auth)
service_account = client.user().get()
print('Service Account user ID is {0}'.format(me.id))

I’ve verified the settings file with cat. It exists. When importing the module and checking its methods:

>>> from boxsdk import JWTAuth, Client
>>> dir(JWTAuth)
['__bool__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__']

Versions Used

Box Python SDK: 2.0.0 Python: 3.6.7

Error Message, Including Traceback

$python3 ./testbox1.py n Traceback (most recent call last): File “./testbox1.py”, line 26, in <module> auth = JWTAuth.from_settings_file(‘/home/joel/peroorkada/staticfiles/conf/box.json’) AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘from_settings_file’

@droidzone The Python SDK can be installed in two flavors: one with JWT auth and one without. Could you also verify that you’ve installed boxsdk[jwt] and not just boxsdk (which does not include the JWT auth classes and libraries)?

In case anyone comes across this like I did – you need to only have boxsdk["jwt"] as a dependency in requirements.txt. It is not in addition to boxsdk.

I.e. do this:

# requirements.txt
boxsdk["jwt"]
...

not this

# requirements.txt
boxsdk
boxsdk["jwt"]
...
