Error in creating a json output file

[frapava98]

Sometimes, if I try to open the JSON output file, it generates this error: Extra data: line 2 column 1 (char 3).
The problem is that it closes the square brackets before printing the results:
It also happens that the program closes the square brackets in the middle of the results: Extra data: line 63 column 1 (char 8218)

To generate the file, I make a redirect using > . I anyway noticed that this error happens also without the redirect.

I am using Python 3.8.0 and the git master version of SpiderFoot.

It seems to be solved adding the -q option

Could you provide the exact command line you used (remove the scan target of course)?

python3 {spiderfoot_path} -m sfp_abusech,sfp_alienvault,sfp_alienvaultiprep,sfp_greensnow,sfp_badipscom,sfp_blocklistde,sfp_botscout.py,sfp_cinsscore,sfp_cleantalk,sfp_cybercrimetracker,sfp_isc,sfp_nothink,sfp_fortinet,sfp_talosintel,sfp_threatcrowd,sfp_torexits,sfp_totalhash,sfp_virustotal,sfp_sorbs -s {ip_address} -o json > {output_path}/blacklist_ip_results.json

or

python3 {spiderfoot_path} -m sfp_accounts -s {target_domain} -o json > {output_path}/social_results.json

Looks like quite an old issue here, but just wanted to report that I experience this periodically as well. Doesn't happen that often. I run spiderfoot maybe 100x per week (through some other automations) and may experience this issue 2-3 times a month.
