Created the PR in the google-api-ruby-client project: https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-ruby-client/pull/867 I’ll update on the progress here when it moves forward.

androidseb on Mar 25, 2020

I have the same issue, and I looked into the Google Client ruby code to figure it out.

I have a workaround so I’ll post it here in case it helps other people in the meantime…

I had the google-api-client-0.23.9 gem installed, and I was able to fix the problem by editing the function decode_response_body in the file gems/google-api-client-0.23.9/lib/google/apis/core/api_command.rb at line 79.

For reference, the file in the google client repo (line 84 in that file): https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-ruby-client/blob/master/lib/google/apis/core/api_command.rb

I replaced this block:

        def decode_response_body(content_type, body)
          return super unless response_representation
          return super if options && options.skip_deserialization
          return super if content_type.nil?
          return nil unless content_type.start_with?(JSON_CONTENT_TYPE)
          instance = response_class.new
          response_representation.new(instance).from_json(body, unwrap: response_class)
          instance
        end

with this block (adding 3 lines to change the body if empty from “” to “{}”:

        def decode_response_body(content_type, body)
          return super unless response_representation
          return super if options && options.skip_deserialization
          return super if content_type.nil?
          return nil unless content_type.start_with?(JSON_CONTENT_TYPE)
          instance = response_class.new
          if body.empty?
            body = "{}"
          end
          response_representation.new(instance).from_json(body, unwrap: response_class)
          instance
        end

This fixed the issue for me but I’m not sure if this is the right way to fix it at the moment.

Now for actually fixing the issue, I will send a PR this week in that other code base and link it here so that we can track the progress. Once the other PR is merged I’ll probably have to make a PR for fastlane to update their ruby gem dependencies… If anyone knows how that works please let me know, that will save me some trouble searching, otherwise I’ll figure it out 😃

androidseb on Mar 24, 2020

We see identical error on supply when it tries to delete the existing screenshots and there is none.

nzaghini-phorest on Mar 16, 2020

Tested this again, and the issue is gone! I haven’t checked in details but my guess is that the bug in the Google Play REST API was fixed. From my perspective it seems we can close this issue, closing my Google ruby code PR now.

androidseb on May 5, 2020

My PR on the Google ruby code base hasn’t moved yet… I will try and reproduce the issue again next week to see if the problem is still there. With a bit of luck, the Google Play REST API would have fixed that by now.

androidseb on Apr 26, 2020

No, Google does not offer an API for that - you have to do that by hand @HarminderSinghSandhu

janpio on Mar 19, 2020

@nzaghini-phorest the issue is not in fastlane understanding the response, but the underlying Google API ruby client parsing it. Unless that’s fixed, we cannot change anything on the fastlane side of things. Feel free to open a pull request and change out the Google API client.
