CLI stopped working: "unexpected end of JSON input"

I'm using op v1.12.3 on a Mac running Big Sur 11.6. This was working fine until yesterday, but now (without me changing anything), every time I run an op command (e.g., op item get, op list items, even op signout), I see the following output:


[ERROR] 2022/01/17 07:24:22 unexpected end of JSON input

This has very much impacted my CLI workflow (mutt, mbsync, msmtp)... help!


1Password Version: 7.9.2
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: macOS 11.6

    Ah thanks! I didn't realize there was a status page, so I subscribed for updates for the future.

    Seems to be resolved. Thanks for the update!

    Hi folks,

    I believe this was due to an outage of the 1Password service. We believe we are mostly out of the woods at this point, but please report if signing in continues to fail.

    We also have a status page at https://1password.statuspage.io/

    I am also getting this error suddenly too.

    Additional info:

    Any command that does a network request (I tried to do op vault ls) fails with the same error. Commands that don't make a network request do not fail (such as the command you suggested above).

    I am now getting this as well.

    I am on version 2.1.0. I did op signin and it prompted me for touchID which I did. Then, it errored:

    [ERROR] 2022/04/27 11:54:23 failed to request.DoUnencrypted: unexpected end of JSON input

    Now, any time I try op signin it fails with the same error but the current timestamp.

    I am using 1Password 8.7.0-95 beta for Mac

    Hey @trombonehero ,

    Apologies for the late response, but I would like to help you get to the bottom of this.

    I believe this error is sent from the 1Password server on one of the HTTP requests that the CLI client sends to the server when the request body is malformed.

    Do you mind trying an op command that does not make a network request, such as a help command, like op get user --help and seeing if it works?
