[Cloudtracker] JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1

[CaseyLabs]

Hi there, I'm really excited to try out Cloudtracker! I've completed the setup config steps, but I've ran into the following error message when running my first command (cloudtracker --account demo --list users):

Python version: 3.6.9 Ubuntu version: 18.04

(venv) ~$ cloudtracker --account demo --list users --start 2020-06-01

This is using my default AWS CLI user, with the appropriate IAM permissions assigned to that access key.

Thanks!

Does the IAM data file exist? By which I mean did you run:

aws iam get-account-authorization-details > account-data/demo_iam.json

and configure your account info?

Confirmed, and it's populated with statements like:

STATEMENT       [u'organizations:DescribeAccount', u'organizations:DescribeOrganization', u'organizations:DescribeOrganizationalUnit', u'o
rganizations:ListAccounts', u'organizations:ListAccountsForParent', u'organizations:ListAWSServiceAccessForOrganization', u'organizations:
ListChildren', u'organizations:ListDelegatedAdministrators', u'organizations:ListOrganizationalUnitsForParent', u'organizations:ListParent
s', u'organizations:ListRoots'] Allow   *

Ahhh, I see what's going on: my AWS CLI output is defaulted to text instead of json for output. I changed the default output to json, and re-created the IAM data file. We're all set to go now. Thank you!
