Your add-on failed validation and could not be signed

I don't understand why this is happening because the first time i tried to sign it it worked. PS : i already wrote a new version in my manifest.json script Can someone help me please ?

if you are on windows try:

  1. run cmd as administrator.
  2. run sign command without using batch file

Above the line "Your add on failed...", do you get a line like this?: Validation results: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/upload/....

I had the same error message, and following that link showed me a detailed analysis of why it failed. My error was that I had a file called Translator.js, but in the manifest it was listed as translator.js, notice the case. After renaming it, signing succeeded.
