Getting an error upon launch: launch failed: Unable to find an image matching "charm-dev" in remote "".

Tried to launch a new VM with the charm-dev blueprint and I got this error:

$ multipass launch --cpus 4 --memory 8G --disk 50G --name my-charm-vm charm-dev
launch failed: Unable to find an image matching "charm-dev" in remote "".

@skoech experienced this too.

Rerunning it a few times worked -- it succeeded on the third attempt.

Hey, @tmihoc! What version of Multipass is this? @georgeliao, was this something you addressed in 1.14 with the work you did on the manifest retrieval?

[georgeliao]

@andrei-toterman It could be, this also can not be easily reproduced on my machine. @tmihoc , It could be a local network thing. If that occurs again, can you run multipass find --force-update and see if it is fixed deterministicallyl? It could be the case that, the first manifest download failed and the binary backeoff retry worked. So as a result, "rerunning it a few times worked".

[tmihoc]

OK, I'll try that next time, thanks!

@andrei-toterman I experienced this on version 1.14. Seems to work fine now but I am running into another problem when trying to access the instance. I opened a separate issue to address it.

I have experienced this before when the GitHub API was flaky. Multipass blueprints are fetched from GitHub. If it can't return them, we'll not know about them.

When this next happens, can you please verify if there is any incident reported in https://www.githubstatus.com/ ? Thank you.
