error No JSON object could be decoded

When I do a scan I get some results, but then this error pops up:
I am on Kali version 2019.4.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Wpscan changed the filenames of there db so when wordpressscan is fetching the old file, it's just getting Cloudflare errors, I guess the whole scan process should be updated.
(This is from wpscan updater)

class Updater
#/!\ Might want to also update the Enumeration#cli_options when some filenames are changed here
FILES = %w[
metadata.json wp_fingerprints.json
timthumbs-v3.txt config_backups.txt db_exports.txt
dynamic_finders.yml LICENSE sponsor.txt
].freeze

  OLD_FILES = %w[
    wordpress.db user-agents.txt dynamic_finders_01.yml
    wordpresses.json plugins.json themes.json
  ].freeze

How to fix it :

1. Go to databases folder
2. delete all json files (themes.json , plugins.json, wordpresses.json)
3. download them again from the repo
