I have scanned two Splunk packages which is less than 2mb using Splunk AppInspect CLI but when I try to scan another Splunk package i.e more than 100mb size  .It went like an hour then gave me a message like this

LEVEL="CRITICAL" TIME="**********" NAME="root" FILENAME="main.py" MODULE="main" MESSAGE="An unexpected error occurred during the run-time of Splunk App Inspect".

is there any size criteria for the Splunk AppInspect CLI  that should be followed?

Hey @mini 

There is no such limit seen in docs for Enterprise, for cloud its upto 128 MB so should be close to that. Comparing with your 2 MB it's quite minimal in size. I guess there could be other reasons, have you tried enabling verbose or some level of logging  at python i know it's out-of-the box to find more details.

Reach out to Splunk support if this is a persistent issue. Hope this helps!
