Unable to add label using Neo4j Rest API - Error reading as JSON ''

[saransna]

The neo4j rest api throws runtime exception (error reading as JSON '') when trying to add a label.

My current set up

org.neo4j neo4j-rest-graphdb 2.0.0 org.neo4j neo4j 2.0.0 org.neo4j.app neo4j-server 2.0.0

Code that tries to create a new node and add a property and label. The runtime exception is thrown when we try to add the label. The rollback is working fine though. It appears that the API is trying to get details for the resource that is not yet created and trying to parse the response.

try ( Transaction tx = db.beginTx() ) { //create new user Node userNode = db.createNode(); userNode.setProperty( "id", id ); userNode.addLabel(DynamicLabel.label("GuestUser")); //throws runtime exception tx.success(); } Stack trace
