Publishing GeoJSON file as web layer works manually in AGOL, fails in Python

I had the following working last week but it's failing today. If it ends up being caused by a change on my side, I'll certainly come clean and post the solution here ... but I don't think anything has changed on my side.

That said, I have the following code in a notebook

PSAP='Template'
file_path = "C:\\LocalDocuments\\files\\file1\\"+PSAP+".geojson"

geojson = gis.content.add({
"type": "GeoJson",
"title": 'PSAP '+PSAP+" TEST Layer",
"tags": [PSAP,"TEST"]
}, data=file_path)
geojson

lyr_item = geojson.publish()

And it fails on the publish() with the following error:

Exception                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
In  [106]:
Line 1:     lyr_item = geojson.publish()

File C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis\__init__.py, in publish:
Line 10356: serviceitem_id = self._check_publish_status(ret, folder)

File C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\arcgis\gis\__init__.py, in _check_publish_status:
Line 10583: raise Exception("Job failed.")

Exception: Job failed.

Now what is weird is that if I go to AGOL , the new Layer actually DOES get successfully published?!?

Also, just as a test if I delete the layer in AGOL I can select the GeoJSON item I added in step 2 and successfully publish it without error.

Am I doing something wrong in my publish() call?

Oh, well it was me. Well not really me but my input geojson file was empty.
