I can easily reproduce this at https://addons.mozilla.org/developers/addon/validate. The error is pretty much instantaneous and the add-on too small and simple to cause a timeout.

Experiencing the same issue.
Can't upload/update add-ons since yesterday (29-06-2015).
Add-ons validator hangs at 100%.
Is anyone looking into this?

That's a separate issue. There was a temporary server problem with the validator that should have been fixed this morning.

This fixes http://sentry.mktmon.services.phx1.mozilla.com/mkt/addonsmozillaorg/group/15975/

Kris, can you please give STRs? Is there something we can add to an extension to reproduce the error?

Comment 6

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

The simplest STR:

1) Upload the extension in comment 0.
2) See validation error.

More complicated, STR:

1) Create a chrome manifest with a chrome content package pointing at '/'. E.g.,

content linkozela /

2) Add an overlay line pointing to a chrome URL in this package. E.g.,

overlay	chrome://browser/content/browser.xul	chrome://linkozela/content/linkozela.xul

3) Attempt to attach a script via that overlay.

I've downloaded the extension from comment #0 and tried to validate it with the Addon Validator on AMO-dev but I receive the same message "Unexpected server error while validating." without any further instructions.
Please see the screencast: http://screencast.com/t/NOHxxSgjyxEA
Reopening.

Comment 9

[Kris Maglione [:kmag]]

This is fixed in the validator, but the new version hasn't been pushed to any servers yet.

I'll leave open for now and close again once a release has been cut.
