Failed to create Web Map when cloning

Hi,

I am experimenting with cloning content from ArcGIS Online to Portal. I used the samples from https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/cloning-content/#the-cloning-process

I succeeded cloning hosted feature layers, web maps and a web mapping application.

However I'm now running into an error when cloning web maps with this line of code (which I used succesfully before):

cloned_wm = target.content.clone_items(items=[testwm],owner="<portal admin username>")

The response is this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
_ItemCreateException                      Traceback (most recent call last)
In  [9]:

_ItemCreateException: ('Failed to create Web Map <name of web map>: 4', None)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am still trying to figure this out, but not getting anywhere so far. If you have any suggestions, please help!

Got it already, the solution was so simple, but for the record I am posting it here.

The web map that I wanted to clone had an invalid layer. After removing that layer, the cloning process worked allright.
