Syncing failing or being stuck silently

[carlosalberto]

After #316 I can only tell there's really bad error reporting (maybe due to some update to some logging or request library change?). After uploading my artifacts, the signing part is stuck, and... nothing happens:

> Task :bintrayPublish
Caching disabled for task ':bintrayPublish' because:
  Build cache is disabled
Task ':bintrayPublish' is not up-to-date because:
  Task has not declared any outputs despite executing actions.
Signed version '0.2.1'.
Published 'open-telemetry/maven/opentelemetry-java/0.2.1'.
<============-> 99% EXECUTING [2m 8s]
Sync to Maven Central performed for 'open-telemetry/maven/opentelemetry-java/0.2.1'.
<============-> 99% EXECUTING [3m 56s]

And on Bintray, in the Maven Central sync section I see:

Last Sync Errors: Failed to close repository: ioopentelemetry-1018. Server response: * Unhandled: Repository: ioopentelemetry-1018 has invalid state: closed Dropping existing partial staging repository.

This absolutely makes this plugin unusable. Errors can happen, but not knowing what is happening is inconceivable.

Similar to #285

Bintray team, can you respond to this request? In https://github.com/mockito/mockito project mavenCentralSync reports this error every time even though it actually succeeds publishing to MavenCentral.

I run into this issue today. The bintrayPublish (v1.8.5) kept hanging for 15-30 minutes before I killed the GitHub actions and the BinTray UI kept reporting validation errors if the "close repo" checkbox was checked. The sync eventually got through. It is unfortunate as my project has certain cleanup actions (i.e., push back generated doc to GitHub) that thus can't run.
