Getting "try again later" error when trying to submit my add-on

Anki Development

Hello!

I made this add-on for my partner who is in medical school and I was trying to upload it to AnkiWeb via https://ankiweb.net/shared/upload but I keep getting a “try again later” error.

I am getting a 400 error from /svc/shared/upload-addon with no message except “try again later”.

Source code: GitHub - n3s-online/anki-break-reminder: Anki add-on that prompts break reminders during study sessions

Can anyone tell me if I am doing anything wrong?

I never uploaded an addon before but cannot imagine that filling out that form would cause a bad request error.

Maybe try a different internet browser and try to turn off all addons in your browser.

Yeah the 400 error makes me think there is something wrong in my submission (bad request), but I confirmed my .ankiaddon is the right type.

Maybe try a different internet browser and try to turn off all addons in your browser.

Didn’t work :confused:

The add-on file looks fine to me, also the AnkiWeb upload feature seems to be working normally.

If the Wi-Fi speed is slow such errors may occur during the process. If so you may need to try again repeatedly or switch to a different connection.

Occasionally the chosen file may not load properly. If so reselecting the file or reloading the page may resolve the issue.

There is a restriction preventing add-ons from being uploaded if the user’s account is too new, but in that case a different error should appear instead of a 400 so it doesn’t seem related.

This might not be the best error message to indicate this – but isn’t the version a problem?

I have tried setting this to a bunch of different options but no luck.. Maybe I just don’t understand what its asking for here?

This is my best guess, my account is very new.

Adding a manifest.json file makes it possible to distribute the add-on directly, it’s common when developers want to release a pre-release version. e.g.

manifest.json

{
    "name": "Break Reminder",
    "package": "BreakReminder"
}

Manual: Sharing outside AnkiWeb

Download the .ankiaddon file and open it with a double-click, or install it from the “Install from file” menu in the Anki add-ons management screen. (Please note that you cannot install the file by dragging and dropping it into Anki.)
