This is not actually a bug.

We switched from Guile JSON 1.x to 3.x, which has a different
intermediate representation for JSON data structures.

swh.scm and all other modules have been modified, but when you run =E2=80=
=9Cguix
environment guix=E2=80=9D you still get an environment with Guile JSON 1.x.
This leads to the test failure.

This problem disappears when you run =E2=80=9Cguix environment guix --ad-hoc
guile-json=E2=80=9D; it will disappear when the =E2=80=9Cguix=E2=80=9D pack=
age is upgraded to
point to the latest version of Guile JSON.
