Hello
I have a problem when i run the run_grasshopper.py app, i get a “RequestsJSONDecodeError”. I was trying to test the example .gh - script which i downloaded from the tutorial. Maybe someone knows what could be the problem here…

Hi @Broesmeli ,
Welcome to the forum!
Thanks for putting this up; I found out there is a mistake in our tutorial.
Accidentally a Python component has slipped in, in our upload. If you remove this red component; it should work. We will try to fix the tutorial as soon as possible!

Hey Rick
Thank you for your reply!
Python Version 3.10
Pycharm 2023.3.3 (Community Edition)
Rhino 8
Yes i did that already but still i get the same error message…
I think i tried everything. Maybe you can help me further investigate the problem?
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
In that case, unfortunately there is probably something going wrong.
For now your script is trying to send over data to Rhino.Compute and trying to encode the result immediately to json. However if there is an error in Rhino.Compute; it cannot encode the result (which is what your error is saying).
To solve this issue; we need to know what happened in your Rhino.Compute. To know this; open your Rhino.Compute terminal and paste the error message. If you don’t see it active you can open it by:
In grasshopper go to File → Preferences → Solver → Hide Rhino.Compute at start
Then restart Rhino. Once Grasshopper starts; it should open a Rhino.Compute terminal where you should see the error message as well (with more detail). Feel free to post that.
We do realize that debugging through Rhino.Compute is quite difficult; so we are actively developing a better solution!

Hey Rick
Sorry i didn’t post the Rhino.Compute Log before, so here it is.
There’s an Application startup exception as soon as i run the “Run_Grasshopper.py” file.

Update: I think i just got the solution. I am running a trial version of Rhino right now and someone in the Rhino Community pointed this out that this was the problem for them. I will get a licence and try it again 
thanks for your help!
Thanks for posting the solution!
Have fun!
