I've been releasing lots of snaps to the staging store by running: snapcraft push <snap> --release <channel> ... and they've all gone fine, but one upload I got this: ``` Uploading ./thomir-says_0.0.1a_amd64.snap [===========================================================================================================================================] 100% Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.5/threading.py", line 914, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/usr/lib/python3.5/threading.py", line 862, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/snapcraft/storeapi/__init__.py", line 442, in _update_status for content in self._get_status(): File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/snapcraft/storeapi/__init__.py", line 452, in _get_status content = requests.get(self.__status_details_url).json() File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 808, in json return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/simplejson/__init__.py", line 516, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/simplejson/decoder.py", line 370, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s) File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/simplejson/decoder.py", line 400, in raw_decode return self.scan_once(s, idx=_w(s, idx).end()) simplejson.scanner.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) ``` This is when snapcraft is in the 'processing' phase, which I believe is when it's actually relasing the snap, rather than pushing it. Snapcraft is then stuck in the 'Processing...' stage, and never exits. The store should never send bad data (I'll try and find something in the staging store logs and report a bug there as well), but snapcraft should handle it better.
