Likely something to be passed to the back-end team.

When debugging the annotations format, it would be useful to know when an incorrect file was uploaded. Even if it did not tell what exactly was wrong. As it stands, it now fails silently, as if annotation were applied.

Test

import json
import roboflow

rf = roboflow.Roboflow(api_key="API_KEY")
img_path = "<path_to_img>"

workspace_id = "<ws ID>"
project_id = "<proj ID>"
workspace = rf.workspace(workspace_id)
project = workspace.project(project_id)

annotation = {
    "it is": [
        {
            "very frustrating": 0,
            "when you": "send",
            "an annotation": {
                "file and": 0.5,

                "function": 0.5,
                "call": 0.5,
                "completes": 0.5,
                "successfully,": 0.5,

            },
            "but": "there's",
            "no": "annotations",
            "on": "the website",
            "nor": "any",
            "errors": "raised",
        }
    ]
}
with open("annotation.json", "w") as f:
    json.dump(annotation, f)

image = project.upload(img_path, annotation_path="annotation.json")

This passes.

Roboflow API fails silently when invalid annotations file is uploaded. #235
