HB Annual Loads: "No JSON object could be decoded"

Hello,

I’m currently trying to run a HB Annual Loads Simulation, however I’m getting the error:

  1. Solution exception:No JSON object could be decoded

I tried using the example file provided on Github, however I got the same issue too. I’m using version 1.7.0 on Mac, and have OpenStudio v3.6.1 installed as per the compatibility matrix.

Given even your example file doesn’t run, I’m guessing there’s some kind of installation issue here.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Isaac

Hey @isaacgreaves ,

It sounds like you were likely experiencing a bug related to Rhino 8. This has been fixed in the most recent version of the plugin (LBT 1.8.0), which is fully compatible with Rhino 8.

Hi chris,

I ran in to the same issue using the annual loads component and after updating everything to the new LBT version 1.8.0 i am still getting the same message.

        {0;0}
  2. Runtime error (ValueErrorException): No JSON object could be decoded

Traceback:
line 382, in raw_decode, “/Applications/Rhino 8.app/Contents/Frameworks/RhCore.framework/Resources/ManagedPlugIns/RhinoDLR_Python.rhp/Lib/json/decoder.py”
line 364, in decode, “/Applications/Rhino 8.app/Contents/Frameworks/RhCore.framework/Resources/ManagedPlugIns/RhinoDLR_Python.rhp/Lib/json/decoder.py”
line 339, in loads, “/Applications/Rhino 8.app/Contents/Frameworks/RhCore.framework/Resources/ManagedPlugIns/RhinoDLR_Python.rhp/Lib/json/init.py”
line 383, in script

I dont have any gas or hot water in my attached program but that should just default to none normally?
