Page Not Found (404) adter upload

[Yura52]

Hi! After the command flit publish --repository testpypi was successfully executed, I was given the link where my project was placed: https://test.pypi.org/project/libzero

However, the link yields "Page Not Found (404)". Is there any lag between the upload and availability of the project? If yes, how much is it?

There shouldn't be a lag in the project being available. There is sometimes a lag in the search feature on warehouse indexing the newly uploaded project.

What is the repository url you have defined in your .pypirc file?

I ran into a similar issue if I left the trailing slash off the repository url

UPDATE: indeed, the absent slash was the problem, now it works fine, thank you. Looks like it is worth raising a warning in such case.

@bpabel here is the content of my .pypirc:

[distutils]
index-servers =
    testpypi

[testpypi]
repository = https://test.pypi.org/legacy
username = __token__
password = <token>

@takluyver Could probably close this as a duplicate of #179

I think in the first instance, this should be reported to warehouse, the code that runs the PyPI server. It shouldn't be accepting and ignoring an upload - it should either work, or the HTTP response (which flit publish checks) should indicate an error.

Then we can look at providing convenience measures in Flit.

Created a ticket on warehouse, since it is indeed returning a 200 response pypa/warehouse#8104

It looks like Warehouse added a redirect with HTTP status 308, which should work for POST requests. Requests follows redirects by default, and we're not overriding that, so I think this should be working. If you still see a problem, let me know; we can either reopen this or start a new issue.
