Hey @adriens, just to confirm, you are using the latest main code? Can you post your full .tape file? Either way this looks like a very ugly error message that we will fix!

[adriens]

maybe linked to the fact thaht the gif is broken/empy cf :

Ah I see, there is no GIF output which is why the publish breaks. Publishing only supports GIFs for now.

If you add a GIF output to your tape file that should fix it, but we'll make sure that the error is much nicer or shouldn't error at all.

Thanks for reporting this!

Ah I see that your GIF output is broken due to an unrelated issue. That would definitely be causing the publish to fail.

Yep, the GIF itself is broken (empty in fact)

i'll do this and let you know, thanks a lot for the tip 👍

[adriens]

I've added the gif output... but the generated file is stil empty 🤔

Hey @adriens is this still an issue you're experiencing with the current version on main?
