anaconda upload silently fails

[stas00]

Hi,

I'm experiencing weird issues with anaconda upload silently failing.

1. built a package:

conda skeleton pypi fastprogress
conda-build fastprogress

all was successful (this is just a pure python one-file module).

2. tried to upload:

anaconda upload fastprogress-0.1.5-py36_0.tar.bz2
Using Anaconda API: https://api.anaconda.org
Using "stason" as upload username
Processing 'fastprogress-0.1.5-py36_0.tar.bz2'
Detecting file type...
File type is "conda"
Extracting conda package attributes for upload
Creating package "fastprogress"

that's it. Nothing happens, no error message, nothing gets uploaded. (nothing appears under https://anaconda.org/stason/repo)

Please note that another team member was able to successfully upload this same package from his setup, but it doesn't work on mine:

conda-build 3.15.1
conda 4.5.11
anaconda Command line client (version 1.7.2)
Python 3.6.6 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)
ubuntu 18.04

Thank you.

What version of anaconda client was your team member using?

[stas00]

His is Command line client (version 1.6.14)

But I can't see how that information would help me, if the client is not behaving properly. Surely it should have said that there is some problem, yet it does nothing. Does it make sense?

Thank you.

I did some more testing and was able to create (via conda skeleton pypi), build and upload other modules w/o any problems.

I also tested that this package fails with older anaconda client (1.6.5). So it must be something about the package.

You should be able to reproduce that on your side, since it was just the straightforward:

conda skeleton pypi fastprogress
conda-build fastprogress

@stas00 could you attach the package so I can take a look :-) ?

[stas00]

it won't let me upload this type of file, here it is on dropbox

And thank you for your help, @goanpeca

[stas00]

Were you able to get the package via dropbox, @goanpeca?

[goanpeca]

@stas00 I did, but I will take a look on monday!

some additional info:

• I'm able to upload this package under a different username -u fastai, a group, to which I'm allowed to upload to.
• I'm able to upload other packages under my own username -u stason

@goanpeca, @ericdill and I just discovered a silent failure wil occur in another instance as well: when using the --private flag on an organization (-u) that doesn't have private package privileges.

[mcg1969]

So my guess is there is some sort of permissions failure that goes undetected by the client.

[goanpeca]

@mcg1969 thanks for the tip. I will add some testing

I have seen the same... I tried with anaconda-client 1.5.x and then I saw the issue, the token was expired... somehow the latest anaconda-client version eats that info when it fails, I think.

[goanpeca]

@damianavila yes, the clien has been eating a lot of error messages lately, the exception handling needs to be fixed.

This same issue (evidently) just botched a bokeh release. Tried restarting, did not help.

I am also facing a similar issue while uploading package to anaconda cloud

The page at (https://anaconda.org/h2oai) lists that package h2oai_client was created. However https://anaconda.org/h2oai/h2oai_client indicates no files exist in the package.

Any help on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
