action #105603
Updated by livdywan about 2 years ago
[openQABot pipeline](https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/openQABot/-/pipelines) seem to fail roughly every 3 hours with a message similar to:
```
ERROR:root:Something bad happended during reading MR data from SMELT/IBS: Expecting value: line 4 column 1 (char 3)
```
Unfortunately the artifact/log doesn't show further information *what* actually is wrong but the message looks a little bit like it tries to parse a broken json response. Therefore I think this is different to what is described in poo#104085
## Acceptance criteria
- **AC1**: Erroneous SMELT data due to network issues is not causing critical failures
## Suggestions
- Improve error handling / diagnostics in https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-maintenance/openQABot/-/blob/e4855cb1741a59084e875a75dcccb25dd1535ae2/openqabot/update/mr.py
- Re-try if we get broken data from SMELT or ignore if we can safely rerun it in the next iteration
