@teolemon I guess openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-dart#1056 would have helped.

Hi I’m interested in working on this issue.
Is it still open for contribution?
I would like to investigate the JSON parsing causing the type cast error.

[monsieurtanuki]

@pava0206 Our problem is that we unJSON products ASAP, so if there's even a minor cast error the whole downloaded product is rejected.
That's why I mentioned openfoodfacts/openfoodfacts-dart#1056, that dealt with that.

The issue happened rarely.
If you can find which product/barcode it happened for, we'll have a clearer view.
But no PR for the moment.

I can't seem to reproduce it anymore ?

[xanderelsmith]

Oh please, Is this still open and can I work ok it?

[monsieurtanuki]

@xanderelsmith The first step would be to be able to reproduce the bug.
cf. #7424 (comment)

[teolemon]

I can't reproduce it anymore, actually, so we might close.

[monsieurtanuki]

@teolemon Let's close it: we cannot reproduce it, and it deceptively looks like a quick win issue (and it's not at all).
I've just "resolved" the related sentry issue.
