redis.exceptions.ResponseError: wrong number of arguments for ‘expire’ command

this is function 


def expire(
        self,
        name: KeyT,
        time: ExpiryT,
        nx: bool = False,
        xx: bool = False,
        gt: bool = False,
        lt: bool = False,
    ) -> ResponseT:
        """
        Set an expire flag on key ``name`` for ``time`` seconds with given
        ``option``. ``time`` can be represented by an integer or a Python timedelta
        object.

        Valid options are:
            NX -> Set expiry only when the key has no expiry
            XX -> Set expiry only when the key has an existing expiry
            GT -> Set expiry only when the new expiry is greater than current one
            LT -> Set expiry only when the new expiry is less than current one

        For more information see https://redis.io/commands/expire
        """

i dont know why report this error plz help me ~

>Solution :

The nx, gx, gt, lt parameters on expire are only supported in Redis 7.0, so you’ll get this error if you’re using a lower version of the Redis server.

Officially mentioned in their standard doc:

History

Starting with Redis version 7.0.0: Added options: NX, XX, GT and LT.
