Why am I getting "Error in JSON response: Unexpected EOF" while attempting to deploy shcluster-bundle?

[mdsnmss]

We recently upgraded our test environment from 6.4.2 to 6.5.2 and upon attempting to deploy a new search head cluster bundle (shcluster-bundle), we are getting the following error:

Error while deploying apps to first member: Error while fetching apps baseline on target=<shcluster-captain>: Error in JSON response: Unexpected EOF

The only thing that I believe has recently changed in the bundle was adding some database drivers to Splunk DB Connect to be deployed to the cluster. Any ideas what might be causing the unexpected end of file error?

I also got this error when upgrading from 9.0.0 to 9.0.2.

The problem however for me was as simple as restarting each search head. My apply bundle command was always referencing 8089.

Turns out I'm an idiot. When specifying target for the shcluster-bundle I was using the web port 8000 and not 8089. Who would have thought using the right port would work.
