Random occurrences of 'The response is not in a JSON format' error

Hi everybody,

 

I have seen many similar posts on this issue, but unfortunately they did not provide a solution for my specific situation. I have build a Microsoft Flow that collects all documents in a Projectwise folder and copies them to a SharePoint folder. For doing so, the 'Get Document File' connector is triggered for each Projectwise file with the most recent version in the folder. However, for some of these files I get the following error:

2020-07-13 16_32_27-Run History _ Power Automate.png

The error says: The response is not in a JSON format

These files do not differ from the files that are successfully retrieved in any significant way. Also; when executed again, the failed files can be completely different from last time whereas the previously failed documents are then retreived without any problems. 

 

I have tried reselecting the project/environment and making the flow again from scratch but that won't solve the solution. Hopefully someone can help me out!

Thanks!

    Solved - I've had this problem for a couple of days, and now suddenly (without changing anything) the script works again..

    Not quite a satisfying solution, as I'm afraid this will happen again in the future.
