Context manager for InfluxDBClient not working correctly?

[stdietrich]

• InfluxDB version: 1.8.0
• InfluxDB-python version: 5.3.0
• Python version: 3.6.8
• Operating system version: CentOS 7 x86_64

With #816 support for context managers has been added to InfluxDBClient. I am currently trying to use it, but it seems not to work:

with influxdb.InfluxDBClient(host='host', port=8086, database='db') as client:
    client.write_points(json_body)

It fails, as client is None:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 21, in <module>
    client.write_points(json_body)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'write_points'

Looking at the source, the __enter__ function does not return any object, just a pass:

influxdb-python/influxdb/client.py

Lines 172 to 174 in 28a3098

	def __enter__(self):
	"""Enter function as used by context manager."""
	pass

Should this not return the client object, e.g.:

 def __enter__(self): 
     """Enter function as used by context manager.""" 
     return self

Or am I incorrectly using the context manager with influxdb?

@stdietrich thanks for the issue. Could definitely be a bug. Are you comfortable opening a PR to address it?

[stdietrich]

Sure, but there is already PR #831, which addresses the problem.

@stdietrich Hi. Could you please check why the CI failed on that single check? I don't have permissions to trigger a re-try.
