TypeError 'company_id' is an invalid keyword argument for this function

[denever]

I get this error here:

def create_historical_record(self, instance, type):
...
    manager.create(history_type=type, changed_by=changed_by, **attrs)
....

My Model is:

class Department(models.Model):
    company = models.ForeignKey(Company, verbose_name=_('Company'))
    name = models.CharField(_('Department name'), max_length=200)
    description = models.TextField(_('Department description'))
    size = models.PositiveIntegerField('Department size mq.')

    history = HistoricalRecords()

Where am I wrong?

Thank you

I can't tell what the error might be without a line number of the error or a traceback. Does this only happen on this one model?

This might be a Django 1.4 issue. I saw the same thing running through the README Polls, Choices example:

@kazgm: I don't see simple_history anywhere in your traceback. I don't think your issue has anything to do with this library.
Here is the Django documentation for create:
