Perhaps your json is empty.  Is there anything in that string?

Subject: [galaxy-dev] BioBlend: Problem Running Example file

I had trouble running blend4j, so I tried to jump into python (a language I have little experience with).

I tried running the example run_import_workflow.py 

% python run_imported_workflow.py http://localhost:8080 8c25bc83f6f9e4001dd21eb7b64f063f

but I get an error:

Initiating Galaxy connection
Importing workflow
Creating data library 'Imported data for API demo'

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return self.scan_once(s, idx=_w(s, idx).end())
simplejson.scanner.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)


Is there anything I am missing from the stock configuration which would cause this not to run out of the box?

Cheers,
Rob
