[register-sky] Error: No JSON object could be decoded

[navarete]

Hi,

I'm trying to process some of my data using the PLP v2 and when I execute the 'register-sky' pipeline I got the message: "No JSON object could be decoded". Do you have any idea what could be causing this error?

$ python ./igr_pipe.py register-sky 20210427

@navarete I realize it's been a few years, but were you ever able to solve this issue? It sounds like you need to create a sky frame in your recipe_log file for the night. If you are having trouble, let us know.
