hi @PODHUPU - will you be able to share output from your project if it isn't sensitive?

If you can, please run gauge run specs --machine-readable from your command prompt in the project where you see this error, and post the output.

In case you aren't able to share the output, please inspect the output and see which line is not a valid JSON.

@PODHUPU Is that the whole log you get by running gauge run specs --machine-readable?

[podupu]

No after that it starts running the spec file

[luciferankon]

@PODHUPU Could you please provide the whole log? If it's not sensitive... If you're not able to share that then check if there is any line which is not a JSON.

[nehashri]

@PODHUPU Please look at the logs and see if any line is not a valid json line after it starts running the spec. If there are any such lines, can you please share a snippet so we can try fix this issue.

[Apoorva-GA]

@PODHUPU Any update on this?
