Discovery document cache file has invalid JSON (possibly being written by two processes) #970
Description
All of a sudden, the Gmail API call is failing due to the issue with the discovery doc. The discovery doc cache file was invalid - it looks like two processes were writing at the same time (inspite of the locking?)
Happened at about 9.50 AM, 9th Jul 2020 GMT.
Environment details
- OS type and version: Ubuntu 14.04.6 LTS
- Python version:
Python 2.7.15 - pip version:
pip 9.0.3 from /home/shard/opt/python-2.7.15/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7) google-api-python-clientversion:1.6.7
Steps to reproduce
- Trying to make Gmail API call.
