`FacetGrid.map_dataframe` passes disallowed keyword arguments to `pointplot`

My code that used to work perfectly fine with 0.11.0 breaks with the new 0.12.0 release. The code creates a FacetGrid and then applies pointplot() to each of the cells as follows:

...
g = sns.FacetGrid(df_fs, row="metric", col="learner_name",
                  hue="variable", height=2.5, aspect=1,
                  margin_titles=True, despine=True, sharex=False,
                  sharey=False, legend_out=False, palette="Set1")
g = g.map_dataframe(sns.pointplot, "training_set_size", "value",
                    scale=.5, ci=None)
...

The relevant traceback is as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 ...
  File "/builds/EducationalTestingService/skll/skll/experiments/output.py", line 127, in generate_learning_curve_plots
    g = g.map_dataframe(sns.pointplot, "training_set_size", "value",

    func(*plot_args, **plot_kwargs)
TypeError: pointplot() got an unexpected keyword argument 'label'

Looking at the code for FaceGrid.map_dataframe, it does indeed create a label keyword argument which, I guess, causes the failure when pointplot() is called. From reading the release notes, it looks like this is because of this item

Removed the (previously-unused) option to pass additional keyword arguments to pointplot()

That keyword argument is created if hue is specified which I am not sure how to get around since I have multiple variables that I want to represent with different colors. If there’s another way to achieve this, I’d really appreciate any guidance.

We should unbreak this, even if it’s discouraged usage.

Glad you were able to work out the right thing to do here, but I am a little curious why you didn’t opt for catplot, which would do all this complicated bookkeeping for you.

[desilinguist]

Yeah, as I mentioned, I didn’t use catplot in production because of the marker size.

Here’s a gist that shows how I combined the FacetGrid and pointplot calls together.

However, I am extremely embarrassed to say that it now works fine 😬! Looking back on it, probably because when I did the test originally, I forgot to include the scale=0.5 keyword in the catplot call.

Apologies for wasting your time on this secondary issue.
