Download Files Not Opening, even when forced

[dangdesigns]

I've tried both the normal and kitchen sink files, from multiple browsers & machines, all have the same result. Download as xx.zip, then change to xx.zip.cpgz using the regular unarchive utility (Mac OS 10.10.5)

I attempted to unzip via terminal and see the following errors

Archive: /Volumes/Mac Pro Work Files/Software-and-Installers/joomla/pkg_fabrik_3.8.zip

Can you unzip other extensions?

I can't see a problem when unzipping in Windows10 (with WindowsExplorer or 7-zip) or on UNIX.

 

[dangdesigns]

nope, the other extensions all do the same on both of my macs, OS 10.10 & OS 10.11. I'll try my windows machine

 

[dangdesigns]

Windows 10 gives me "package is invalid" message for the 3.8 package and I also tried the "list - Link" download as a test.

 

[troester]

Issue confirmed.
I did my test with the fabrik package downloaded on 11-Oct, the recent one is not working (can't unzip or install).

 

[cheesegrits]

Looking at it now.

Hmmm. The ZIPs in my local build folder, the ones that would have gotten ftp'ed up during the last build, are fine. Not sure what's going on there.

Anyway, I've run the build again, and a new set of ZIPs has been uploaded.

(So this build is actually github as of today, so it's really 3.8.1, but I'm not ready to do an actual update yet)

Happening to me too - Mac OS 10.12.6, Google Chrome, J!3.8.1. These are the new 3.8 zipfiles downloaded from the website, not the github.
ie:
opening... plg_fabrik_element_youtube_3.8.zip
gives me a new file... plg_fabrik_element_youtube_3.8.zip.cpgz

Will try from the github now.

Have you tried since I re-uploaded all the zips earlier (just before my last post)?

Yes, about 80 mins ago. I also downloaded 3-4 again about 55 mins ago. All elements I tried still had the same error.

UPDATE:
I have just finished cloning from github onto my desktop, zipped one of the plugins and installed it onto the site I'm working on - it installed correctly.

 

[thellie]

Github updated as it should, so it seems specific to the individual zipped files in the download section?

 

[dangdesigns]

Cleared browsing caches and tried again this morning. Same result.
Edit: tested the pkg_fabrik_3.8.zip file.

 

[gs12345]

I am also confirming the issue. Size mismatch error while downloading on Windows 10. On Linux it says crc error.
As an extreme step,

Unfortunately, the error exists on all earlier version in download section of fabrikar.com

I have tried git zip file and tried to discover from joomla backend -- works till you add one article after that it gives all sort of database errors like #__fabrik_log not found.

 

[cheesegrits]

OK, something is adding a couple of blank lines at the start of the file during the download process (where the upload element code reads the file from disk and outputs it to the browser), I'm working on it.

-- hugh

 

[cheesegrits]

OK, fixed.

A couple of blank lines had somehow crept into the start of a totally unrelated system plugin, before the opening <?php tag, which was causing two blank lines at the start of every page on the front end. Didn't hurt anything else, but also got inserted into the output from the upload element's download script output that sends the ZIP content back to the browser.

-- hugh

 

[cheesegrits]

Just for anyone stumbling across this, to find PHP files with blank lines at the start or end, ssh to your server, create a file (say 'blanklines.sh') with this in it:

#!/bin/bash

for f in `find . -type f -name '*.php'`; do
  for t in head tail; do
    $t -1 $f  |egrep '^[  ]*$' >/dev/null && echo "blank line at the $t of $f";
  done;
done

And run it ...

# chmod 755 blanklines.sh
# ./blanklines.sh

... and it'll churn out any files it finds which start or end with blank lines. You are looking for ones which have blank lines either before the opening php tag or after a closing tag. Files with no close tag are OK.

Download worked and installed
Thank you.

 

[cheesegrits]

Thanks for reporting it.
