TypeError: Session.request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'with_credentials'

Question

When running the following code (copied from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-studio/how-to/develop/sdk-overview?tabs=sync&pivots=programming-language-python), I am getting error TypeError: Session.request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'with_credentials'. The documention (which I think is at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/python/api/azure-ai-projects/azure.ai.projects.aiprojectclient?view=azure-python-preview) doesn't have reference to connections attribute. How do I solve this error?

from azure.identity import DefaultAzureCredential
from azure.ai.projects import AIProjectClient

project_connection_string="somevaluehere"

project = AIProjectClient.from_connection_string(
  conn_str=project_connection_string,
  credential=DefaultAzureCredential())

from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
from azure.ai.projects.models import ConnectionType
from azure.search.documents import SearchClient
from azure.search.documents.indexes import SearchIndexClient

# use the project client to get the default search connection
search_connection = project.connections.get_default(
    connection_type=ConnectionType.AZURE_AI_SEARCH,
    with_credentials=True)

# Create a client to create and manage search indexes
index_client = SearchIndexClient(
    endpoint=search_connection.endpoint_url,
    credential=AzureKeyCredential(key=search_connection.key)
)

# Create a client to run search queries
search_client = SearchClient(
    index_name="your_index_name",
    endpoint=search_connection.endpoint_url,
    credential=AzureKeyCredential(key=search_connection.key)
)
