KeyError: 'message' occurs when trying to build a model with wrong datatype #379

Describe the bug

When the data has wrong datatype (e.g. values of dataset are str type), pystan raises KeyError: 'message'.

The full Traceback is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/workdir/main.py", line 25, in <module>
    posterior = stan.build(model, data=data)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/stan/model.py", line 519, in build
    return asyncio.run(go())
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/asyncio/runners.py", line 44, in run
    return loop.run_until_complete(main)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/asyncio/base_events.py", line 647, in run_until_complete
    return future.result()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/stan/model.py", line 511, in go
    raise RuntimeError(resp.json()["message"])
KeyError: 'message'

This is possibly a problem of the httpstan.
But I think this pystan's behavior isn't intended. So I'm reporting here.

Describe your system

• CPU type: x86-64
• Windows 10 19044.2251
• WSL 2 Ubuntu 20.04
• Docker Desktop 4.10.1
• Python 3.9 (I also checked occurrence of the same error in 3.8 and 3.11)
• pystan 3.6.0 and httpstan 4.9.1 (I also checked in pystan==3.2.0 and httpstan==4.5.0)

Steps/Code to Reproduce

My code sample consists of two files. To run them, please place them at the same directory.

├── Dockerfile
└── main.py

# Dockerfile
FROM python:3.9
COPY main.py .
RUN pip3 install httpstan==4.9.1 pystan==3.6.0
CMD ["python3", "main.py"]

# main.py
import stan


model = """
data {
  int<lower=0> N;
  vector[N] x;
  vector[N] y;
}
parameters {
  real alpha;
  real beta;
  real<lower=0> sigma;
}
model {
  y ~ normal(alpha + beta * x, sigma);
}
"""

# data has str values
data = {
    'y': ['58', '59', '60', '61', '62', '63', '64', '65', '66', '67', '68', '69', '70', '71', '72'],
    'x': ['115', '117', '120', '123', '126', '129', '132', '135', '139', '142', '146', '150', '154', '159', '164'],
    'N': 15
}
posterior = stan.build(model, data=data)
