Lims _get_instances() returns empty array when start_index is set.

[jonathandixon]

An empty array is always returned when retrieving a list of entities using the get_* methods of theLims class. For example:

samples = l.get_samples(start_index=500)
# samples == []

The problem is in the _get_instances() method. The response is only parsed when start_index is None.

Thanks for reporting this. I can confirm that this is happening when start_index is provided. I never used this option myself and am still unclear what the expected behaviour would be:

• return one page from the start_index or
• return all pages from the start_index
