@willdurand Yes, the error was familiar and now I know why https://github.com/mozilla/addons-code-manager/issues/1436 I’ll add a comment to it.

@willdurand Then perhaps I should file an issue in the codemanager repo. Old addon versions are available in prod but I can’t tell if it works exactly as in dev. Still, maybe it’s worth some further investigations.

Yes, maybe. I thought we had an issue for this problem already but maybe not.

@willdurand yes, perhaps, because I see in the Network a 404 on addons-dev.allizom.org/en-US/developers/addon/noscript/file/245180/validation.json

Ok, so that’s a problem with the linter messages, likely because the add-on is quite old. Not related to this issue.

@ioanarusiczki it will be tricky to reproduce in -dev or stage I think. Maybe you could try to upload some versions of an add-on (or 2) and see if git-extraction works as intended.
