'infinit network create' results in 'infinit: fatal error: json parse error'

[paulocoghi]

Following the Get Started guide, after creating a local storage, I tried both:

infinit network create --as my-username --storage local --name my-local-storage --push

and

infinit-network --create --as my-username --storage local --name my-local-storage --push

But it always returns:

infinit-network: fatal error: json parse error

Details:
Ubuntu 16.04.2 64bit
Linux Kernel 4.8.0-36-generic
Infinit 0.7.3

Hi! Sorry my notifications were disabled for some reasons.

Can you cat ~/.local/share/infinit/filesystem/storages/local (if you use the default home, otherwise cat $INFINIT_HOME/.local/share/infinit/filesystem/storages/local) pls ?

Someone else had an issue similar to yours caused by an empty silo descriptor. We are investigating why...

If it's the case, can you remove that file, run infinit silo create --name local and make sure the file was created and filled? It should look like that:

{
    "name" : "local",
    "path" : "/home/<user>/.local/share/infinit/filesystem/blocks/local",
    "type" : "filesystem"
}

You are right. It is the case, because ~/.local/share/infinit/filesystem/storages/local was empty.

Removing it, and creating it again via infinit silo create ... instead of infinit-storage --create ... solves the problem.

I am concerned to continue the Get Started guide for the moment, since all subsequent commands are also with deprecated syntax.

Yes, we are aware that the online documentation uses the old syntax, but "it's a feature" :) That's for people who still have a older release.

Of course, eventually we will upgrade the documentation.

Everything has been updated (documentation, error messages, etc.) and the JSON parse error is gone in 0.8.0.
