Re: [basex-talk] Bug in XQuery archive module

Thanks Alex,

The Bug has been fixed. A new 8.1 snapshot is available [1]. We'll soon provide a 8.0.1 bug fix release as well (ideally, the "1" will represent this single bug fix).

Hi,

I stumbled upon a bug in the archive module on BaseX 8.0. The zip files created by the archive module are not valid.

let $found := file:list("/tmp/test/media/")
return
file:write-binary("/tmp/test.zip",
archive:create(
  $found,
  $found ! file:read-binary( "/tmp/test/media/" || .)
, map { "format" : "zip", "algorithm" : "deflate"}))

The resultting zip file is invalid. Trying to unzip in cli returns:

Archive:  test.zip
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of test.zip or
test.zip.zip, and cannot find test.zip.ZIP, period.

The same code works in BaseX7.9

Cheers, Alex
