Bug Description

I ran the my gpgpu test today and when checkbox tried submitting the file, I got this weird error I've never seen before:

This has worked fine in the past, and I've not changed anything on the gpgpu suite or launcher in a very long time. Not sure what's changed that's causing this error to happen now.

this is the launcher in use:
#!/usr/bin/env checkbox-cli

[launcher]
app_id = com.canonical.certification:certification-server
launcher_version = 1
stock_reports = submission_files, certification

[test plan]
unit = com.canonical.certification::gpgpu-only
forced = yes

[test selection]
forced = yes

[ui]
output = hide-resource-and-attachment

[config]
config_filename = canonical-certification.conf

This was seen with the following config on two different machines:
Release: 20.04 LTS
ii checkbox-ng 1.16.0+git202201241420+pkg182~ubuntu20.04.1 all CheckBoxNG test runner
ii plainbox-provider-checkbox 0.63.0+git202202091055+pkg182~ubuntu20.04.1 amd64 CheckBox provider for PlainBox
ii python3-checkbox-ng 1.16.0+git202201241420+pkg182~ubuntu20.04.1 all CheckBoxNG test runner (Python 3 library)
ii python3-checkbox-support 0.53.0+git202202091035+pkg151~ubuntu20.04.1 all collection of Python modules used by PlainBox providers

When this occurs, the tarball is not created, and I've seen two different cases, the first case, .local/share/checkbox-ng only had the html and xml files but no other submission files, and on the second system, .local wasn't created at all (telling me checkbox never got as far as building the submission.

But both had the exact same error as noted in the summary.

Could you attach the content of /var/tmp/checkbox-ng please? having the session files will help to reproduce the problem

Hello @sylvain-pineau,
The attached file is session from /var/tmp/checkbox-ng, if I missed something, please let me know.

Thanks, Andy for the file. Unfortunately it looks like the system doesn't have the session that produced that error (e.g. it got reprovisioned some time in the last month).

There's a chance that running the simple attachment info test plan can produce the problematic output. Could you try running this test plan com.canonical.certification::server-info-attachment-automated and if it produces the submission error could you attach that session dir? That would help tremendously.
