Can't login to the workspace

Question

I'm using Python to submit a job to azure-quantum. However, in my recent attempt t login to my workspace using:

workspace = Workspace( 
subscription_id="my_subscription_id", 
resource_group="my_resource_group", 
name="the_name", 
location="eastus", ) 
workspace.login() 

I receive the error:
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Extra data: line 1 column 7 (char 6)

Answer 1

I managed to solve the problem by removing the cached credential file in /home/user/.azure-quantum/aad.bin and re-login using:
workspace.login()

@Khaled Kelany Thanks for your interest in Azure Quantum!

Before initiating a connection to your Quantum workspace, I hope you have installed the Azure Quantum Python SDK and imported the Workspace module from azure.quantum in your py code.

I could not reproduce the mentioned error, but here is the Python code I could get to work to connect to my Azure Quantum workspace:

   # File: workspace.py  
   from azure.quantum import Workspace  
     
   # Copy the settings for your workspace below  
   workspace = Workspace(  
       subscription_id="***",  # Add your subscription_id  
       resource_group="Quantum-Resource-Group",   # Add your resource_group  
       name="myquantumworkspace",  # Add your workspace name  
       location="westus",  # Add your workspace location (for example, "westus")  
   )  
     
   workspace.login()  

And then I was able to run this with python workspace.py from my conda environment.

If you still run into issues, please help us with the package version for azure-quantum you're seeing this with.
(I also notice that there is a trailing , after the location parameter in your Workspace object definition that could possibly cause errors)

Here are some resources for your reference:

• Install and use the Python SDK for optimization
• Use the QDK for quantum computing with Q# and Python

Answer 3

Thank you for your reply.

I did have installed the Azure Quantum Python SDK and imported the Workspace module. My code is identical to the code you posted.

The package version for azure-quantum is 0.15.2101.126941 and I'm using Python3.8.

(I also notice that there is a trailing , after the location parameter in your Workspace object definition that could possibly cause errors)

I don't think this might cause an error!
