Modpack Version

Describe your issue.

I setup settings.ps1 matching my pack options.
I skip all parts except actual uploading on CF.

When i lunch modpack-uploader.ps1 i see this:

Seems like something wrong with CF output.
Error:

I tried to redirect output of curl.exe in file:

+ > out.html

Opening out.html i see this:

Why this happen? How to fix that?

Thanks for the report. Could you please provide your settings.ps1 file? Also, I take it you've added your api token to the secrets.ps1 file?

[IronworksProductions]

I am also getting the same error, API token is added. my setttings.ps1 is here: https://gist.github.com/MetaverseRPN/de37892b5eefcc4981cda3f229c58cfc

Any chance you have a the returned error in english? 😅

[IronworksProductions]

I do. Here it is:

Edit: only took 5 tries to get that codeblocked correctly

[NielsPilgaard]

Thank you kindly. Do you also have the output just prior to this? I'm looking for something like this:

Client Metadata:

{
            changelog: 'The Changelog is currently being written, it should be done soon.',
            changelogType: 'markdown',
            displayName: 'Enigmatica 6 1.2.1',
            gameVersions: [8203],
            releaseType: 'alpha'
        }

[IronworksProductions]

Client Metadata:

{
            changelog: 'You aren't supposed to be here... There is nothing for you to see here...',
            changelogType: 'markdown',
            displayName: 'PhoenixRising 0.0.1',
            gameVersions: [6756],
            releaseType: 'beta'
        }

Is this what you are looking for?

[NielsPilgaard]

It is indeed. Odd, that looks perfectly valid.
I'm guessing they're finally patching the odd json format they used to expect. Could you perhaps re-try a couple of times, see if you reach one of their API servers that haven't updated yet? 😄 I was able to use this a few minutes ago.

[IronworksProductions]

Im trying for the 3rd time but it seems I am getting this error every time I try

[Krutoy242]

Yes, i tried different time a day and same error.

[NielsPilgaard]

Hmm alright. Could you please try replacing the setting of the $CLIENT_METADATA parameter like below?

Change this:

$CLIENT_METADATA = 
        "{
            changelog: `'$CLIENT_CHANGELOG`',
            changelogType: `'$CLIENT_CHANGELOG_TYPE`',
            displayName: `'$CLIENT_FILE_DISPLAY_NAME`',
            gameVersions: [$GAME_VERSIONS],
            releaseType: `'$CLIENT_RELEASE_TYPE`'
        }"

to this:

$CLIENT_METADATA = @{
    changelog     = $CLIENT_CHANGELOG
    changelogType = $CLIENT_CHANGELOG_TYPE
    displayName   = $CLIENT_FILE_DISPLAY_NAME
    gameVersions  = $GAME_VERSIONS
    releaseType   = $CLIENT_RELEASE_TYPE
} | ConvertTo-Json

[NielsPilgaard]

Yikes. CurseForge still dislikes normal JSON I guess :P

Please revert that change, and make this change instead:

Change:

-F metadata=$CLIENT_METADATA

to

-F metadata=([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($CLIENT_METADATA ))

[Krutoy242]

-F metadata=([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($CLIENT_METADATA ))

I tried this. After uploading progress bar, slowly got similar messages curl: (6) Could not resolve host: 32 again and again:
