Successful import

Environment

Python 3.9.12
neptune 1.3.2
requests-2.28.0

Hello @kate-ds 👋

It looks like hex notebooks come with requests==2.26.0 preinstalled.
The JSONDecodeError is available with requests>=2.27. You can upgrade to requests>=2.27 to fix this.

From your environment information, I can see that you have upgraded to requests==2.28.0. However, you will need to restart the kernel to use the updated packages.

I noticed that on Hex, restarting a kernel also removes all user-installed packages. So you might get stuck with an older version of requests that does not include the JSONDecodeError class. I would recommend reaching out to Hex.tech support regarding this.

Meanwhile, you can downgrade to neptune==1.2.0 which works with requests==2.26.0.

Please let me know if this works for you.

Hello @SiddhantSadangi

Thank you for your prompt response and valuable assistance! Installing neptune==1.2.0 as you suggested has resolved my problem with the JSONDecodeError. Now everything is working perfectly with requests==2.26.0.

Thank you for your support and quick resolution!

My pleasure 🤗

Although this does fix the issue for now, I would still recommend you reach out to Hex.tech support so that they can upgrade the preinstalled version of requests. ⬆️

I will be closing this issue now, but please feel free to create a new one or contact us if you have any further questions or concerns.

Have a great day 🌞
