If we do a GET request that expects a JSON response, like so:

${response}=  RequestsLibrary.GET  ${url}

then if the server returns 204 (no content) instead of returning JSON, we get this error:

Replacing variables from keyword return value failed: Resolving variable '${response.json()}' failed: JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

I think it'd be nice to have a friendly error message for this. Perhaps something like Expected the response to contain JSON, but the response was 204 (No Content) 🙂
