Richaudience Bid Adapter: invalid responses on no bid

[Sir-Will]

Type of issue

Bug

Description

The bidder richaudience returns an invalid empty bid if there is no bid, this causes it to constantly log warnings and errors about it, and it's very irritating.
This doesn't seem to be a correct way of handling no bid, and it's the only bidder I have encountered it with.

Is there anything which can be done to stop this?

Hi!
Sorry for this message of error, we know is very confused, but we're working on a new version to solve it.
This error is when the request returns one response that is not a JSON, this we do when in our endpoint detects any issue in the request.
I need to be able to update the adapter, but this issue blocks the pull request, please you can check as solved for the moment?
Cheers

This issue does not block you making a pull request to resolve it, please proceed with your solution. Fixing this is straightforward, and you should handle it within #11022 or independently, but before we continue to merge ongoing maintenance.

Hello,

In this demo you can see that it is working correctly: https://jsfiddle.net/60nw7gbs/1/

@Sir-Will @richaudience reports fixed, if so can you close out?
