Description

EDIT: solution would be to have a rudderc option to write to the destination file directly.

Opening the Technique editor page displays :

Error
Error when getting methods: Could not get generic methods metadata
‣ An Error occurred while extracting data from generic methods ncf API
‣ Inconsistency: Unexpected end of input

It appears that /var/rudder/configuration-repository/ncf/generic_methods.json is incomplete, and truncated at exactly 256 Ko (262144).

Log says :

For now, I wasn't able to reproduce it. It might be linked with some specific behavior of NuProcess on that plateform. A workaround would be to have rudderc to directly write the file to the resulting file, because here we are hoping through the JVM for nothing.
