OSX Archive Utility: Error 1 - Operation not permitted

[nickmerwin]

Hi, this seems to be the same issue as reported for PHPZip here:

Grandt/PHPZip#4

Other tools, such as Archive and even "unzip" via terminal, can open the zip file with no dramas - it's just the Archive Utility built into OSX that has dramas.

From the discusion:

The root cause is a mix between an odd behaviour of the deflate
algorithm in the PHP implementation of zlib, and a bug in the Mac OSX
"Archive Utility"

Has anyone else encountered this?

I've seen this only on the streaming branch. Master opens my files fine in archive utility.

I also received this error. Unzips fine from command line but archive utility complains that it is unable to unzip. Using the pull request with zlib compression fixed it for me (#3), I suspect it is some ascii character that is tripping up archive and the compression technique encodes it to something friendlier.

I'm also getting this error from latest on npm. I did as @CoolBlade did and used the fork that he used and the unzipping works great. I'm running node v0.8.19.

When I use that fork, I get a TypeError inside of the janzip.js file.

Nick, is it saying something about a callback in the stack? If so, thats the issue. I'm using his fork with great results on androidbootstrap.com. You can check out the source in this file: https://github.com/donnfelker/android-bootstrap-site/blob/master/routes/generate.js#L73

Instead of just getting a buffer you have to provide a callback. See the code above for a working example. Cheers

I'm experiencing this issue as well in 1.1.0.

[disorderdev]

yes, I have this issue too, and I tried other libs, like adm-zip, they'll have the same issue.

I got the same error, finally, it works with onkis's version.

the only difference is that the part of writting .zip file should be put into the callback of .toBuffer method.

[janjongboom]

After assessing all other libraries out there, I've seen that this lib has been superseded by other, nicer libraries, more specifically node-archiver. Which would solve stuff like this. Sorry for that :-)

[legomushroom]

I've published the fork by onkis as node-native-zip-compression to npm, it solves this issue
