TypeError: import_optional_dependency() got an unexpected keyword argument 'errors'

Question

I am trying to work with Featuretools to develop an automated feature engineering workflow for the customer churn dataset. The end outcome is a function that takes in a dataset and label times for customers and builds a feature matrix that can be used to train a machine learning model.

As part of this exercise I am trying to execute the below code for plotting a histogram and got "TypeError: import_optional_dependency() got an unexpected keyword argument 'errors' ". Please help resolve this TypeError.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
plt.style.use('fivethirtyeight')
plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (10, 6)

trans.loc[trans['actual_amount_paid'] < 250, 'actual_amount_paid'].dropna().plot.hist(bins = 30)
plt.title('Distribution of Actual Amount Paid')

Below is the full error I received:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
