            Bug ID: 187058
           Summary: Malformed contributors.json should not cause
                    webkit-patch apply-attachment to fail; breaks EWS
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Local Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

The command "webkit-patch apply-attachment" fails when the file <https://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Tools/Scripts/webkitpy/common/config/contributors.json> is malformed. Because the EWS bots use "webkit-patch apply-attachment" they will fail to apply a patch in this case and stop processing of the patch. A malformed contributors.json should not cause this command to fail and more importantly should not cause the EWS to fail a patch. 

I noticed this issue on the EWS following the landing of <https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/233209/>. This changeset contained an erroneous comma that caused contributors.json to be considered malformed JSON. Here is the output seen on EWS:

[[
Failed to run "['/Volumes/Data/EWS/WebKit/Tools/Scripts/webkit-patch', '--status-host=webkit-queues.webkit.org', '--bot-id=ews104', 'apply-attachment', '--no-update', '--non-interactive', 343619, '--port=mac-wk2']" exit_code: 1 cwd: /Volumes/Data/EWS/WebKit

contributors.json is malformed: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 166 column 4 (char 3586)
]]
<https://webkit-queues.webkit.org/results/8349480>

For completeness, the syntax of contributors.json was corrected in <https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/233211/>.
