fastlane: Deliver language detection returning invalid values

New Issue Checklist

Issue Description

When I try to update my app’s metadata using Deliver it fails with the following error:

/Users/guilherme.gibertoni/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.7.0/gems/fastlane-2.169.0/spaceship/lib/spaceship/connect_api/api_client.rb:193:in `handle_response': The provided entity is missing a required attribute - You must provide a value for the attribute 'locale' with this request (Spaceship::UnexpectedResponse)

Looking at my previous and successful attempts from a couple of months ago I could note this difference:

Successful

[23:19:10]: Detected languages: ["en-US", "default"]
[23:19:17]: Will begin uploading metadata for '1.0' on App Store Connect
[23:19:17]: Uploading metadata to App Store Connect for version
[23:19:17]: Uploading metadata to App Store Connect for localized version 'en-US'
[23:19:18]: Uploading metadata to App Store Connect for localized info 'en-US'

Current and Flawed:

[14:06:52]: Detected languages: ["en-US", "", "default", nil]
[14:06:53]: Activating version language ...
Looking for related GitHub issues on fastlane/fastlane...

I dont think the empty string and nil string on this array are expected

Command executed

fastlane deliver --force --automatic_release false --submit_for_review false --overwrite_screenshots --skip_binary_upload

Has this really been fixed? I’m on 2.170.0. Prior to this everything worked smoothly. Then, one day, fastlane stopped uploading ja release_notes (but processed US and MX without issue) That was been the state of things for weeks, until today with 2.170.0

Today, no release_notes uploaded. They loaded; they are seen by fastlane. Fastlane promises it will upload the metadata, and does nothing.

Just a weird guess… release_notes.txt can contain a single sentence, yes? If the sentence begins with - (hyphen, space) could that affect upload of the string? I don’t see how or why it would, but… 🤷

Same issue is happening with us as well. I noticed that if I have the default directory it ends up in an error. If I delete the default directory it goes through.

Fastlane version: 2.169.0

@ChristopherDrum sounds like a valid issue to me. Would you mind opening a new ticket, filling out all the required info? 🙏 that’d help a lot to get your issue resolved faster!

Yes. I don’t see how a hyphen would break anything, that shouldn’t be the problem 😃

Don’t use sudo and work with a gemfile where you can specify versions.

Thanks for the tip @max-ott . We use Fastlane for many years and followed the old way back then. I have no knowledge at all of Ruby and Gems, but I see that the installation docu has been updated to use a gemfile, so will follow that.

BTW, after running fastlane deliver and when an update is available, sudo is recommended:

#######################################################################
# fastlane 2.169.0 is available. You are on 2.168.0.
# You should use the latest version.
# Please update using `sudo gem install fastlane`.
#######################################################################

It’s probably related to metadata and not screenshots, as I was able to submit all screenshots but couldn’t update release notes.

👍 I see. What I refactored in https://github.com/fastlane/fastlane/pull/17661 is the logic to list up language directories, which is shared by both metadata and screenshots. That’s why I asked🙂

Interestingly, when I tried downgrading to v2.168.0 it also failed. 😦
