mamba search --json

[hakasapl]

I'm experiencing an issue where the command mamba search --json fails. The conda equivalent conda search --json succeeds. I will attach the output of the mamba command below:

}

The strange thing is that this issue is intermittent. The first time it will fail, the second time it will succeed.

I'm using miniconda on Ubuntu 20.04. Please let me know if I can provide more info.

works for me. it's weird because mamba search just forwards all arguments for this command to conda.

Also a json search without arguments is a little bit pointless since it might be better to read the repodata files directly (found in $ROOT_PREFIX/pkgs/cache/*.json).
