[Python] PySide6 QComboBox.setCurrentIndex() not working as documented

I am attempting to populate a PySide6 combo-box, then set the current index based on the contents of the combo-box.

def populate_fields_from_args(self):
for available_report in self.available_reports:
self.window.comboBoxReportSelector.addItem(available_report['report_name'])
selected_report_name = [report['report_name'] for report in self.available_reports if report['report_short_name'] == self.args.report][0]
report_index = self.window.comboBoxReportSelector.findText(str(selected_report_name))
self.window.comboBoxReportSelector.setCurrentIndex(report_index)


I am receiving the following error:

self.window.comboBoxReportSelector.setCurrentIndex(report_index)
TypeError: descriptor 'setCurrentIndex' for 'PySide6.QtWidgets.QComboBox' objects doesn't apply to a 'int' object


This makes no sense to me as I have reviewed the documentation for PySide6.QtWidgets.QComboBox.setCurrentIndex and it does indeed take an integer. Additionally I tried this with setCurrentText and received a similar error regarding using a 'str' object.

To add insult to injury, when I run this exact same code using the PyCharm debugger on MacOS it works, but not using the PyCharm debugger on Linux.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
