TypeError: _() takes 2 positional arguments but 4 were given Databricks-CodePudding

I have an error, which appears after I run my script in Databricks

TypeError: _() takes 2 positional arguments but 4 were given

sessionevents = eventsDF.filter(eventsDF.eventcategory.contains("size guide","native size guide","product interactions")).groupby('eventcategory','uniquesessionid').count()

I am not sure if I should in this case define the self and if yes then how. Can anyone help me, please?

CodePudding user response：

The Column method contains can only take one value but you're passing 3. The function is defined as:

def contains(self, item: Any) -> Column

The errors message says "2 positional arguments" as it counts self which is the Column itself.

If I correctly understood what you're trying to achieve, you can use rlike function instead:

sessionevents = eventsDF.filter(
       eventsDF.eventcategory.rlike("size guide|native size guide|product interactions")
   ).groupby('eventcategory', 'uniquesessionid').count().show()
