Error when using is_done() with JobConnection

[schuylerfried]

Error indicates that 'jobId' key is not found in self.result dictionary. My beta key for the api works, as I've tested and ran several programs using api.SyncConnection() Here's the traceback:

File "test.py", line 17, in main while not res.is_done(): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyquil/job_results.py", line 47, in is_done self.get() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyquil/job_results.py", line 63, in get return self.qpu.get_job(self) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyquil/api.py", line 296, in get_job url = self.endpoint + ("/job/%s" % (job_result.job_id())) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyquil/job_results.py", line 55, in job_id return self.result['jobId'] KeyError: 'jobId'

My source code was basically copied from the tutorial for testing purposes:

import pyquil.quil as pq from pyquil.quil import Program import pyquil.api as api from pyquil.gates import * from numpy import * import sys sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages') import nlopt from pyquil.api import JobConnection import time

job_qvm = JobConnection(endpoint="https://job.rigetti.com/beta") #qvm = api.SyncConnection()

def main():     res = job_qvm.run(Program(X(0)).measure(0, 0), [0])     while not res.is_done():         time.sleep(1)      print(res.get())     return 0

main()

Hi @schuylerfried , is this still broken for you? If so I will look into it

[schuylerfried]

Unfortunately, it is.

My python2 and gcc versions are:

Python 2.7.13 (v2.7.13:a06454b1afa1, Dec 17 2016, 12:39:47) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin

I think I know what's happening: we recently changed to require a user_id for the job.rigetti.com endpoint. That means your .pyquil_config file should look like this:

[Rigetti Forest] url: https://job.rigetti.com/beta key: user_id:

If you don't have a user_id you will have to sign up again at http://www.rigetti.com/index.php/forest . Signing up only takes a few seconds now in our new system.

We will work on improving the error message.

Worked - thank you! And yeah, a better error message would definitely be helpful.
