After updating Bench and Frappe apps am getting errors I am on version 15

I have existing installation of Frappe Bench and various app like ERPNext, Payments, HRMS, etc.

Now I have to install India Compliance. When I try to install it using the command `bench get-app --branch version-15 https://github.com/resilient-tech/india-compliance.git\` it gave error that cannot install on current Frappe version and I need to update.

So I ran the command bench update. This command went through and all the apps got updated. Now when I try to run even simple commands like bench list-apps I get errors.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/bench", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(cli())

    obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting ',' delimiter: line 71 column 5 (char 1760)

What is wrong and how to resolve this?

I found the issue. The apps.json file had a missing comma between two apps.

Actually while trying to install another app called Exim Bench command was failing so I manually fetched the app from Github and then added it manually. In the process by mistake a command between apps entries got delete.

Thanks everyone for your time.

corrupted file sites/apps.json. It got messed up during bench update, and bench can’t parse it now

  1. Open it: nano sites/apps.json

  2. If you can’t easily spot/fix it, just delete the file: rm sites/apps.json

  3. Run any bench command (e.g. bench list-apps) bench will auto-regenerate it from your existing apps.

That should get you back to normal. Then retry the India Compliance install once bench list-apps works clean.
