Hi All,

It seem "lisZipContent" is sent before the download of the zip is finished
I have this error message

zipperr.Not a zip archiverevzipOpenarchive
revZipEnumerateItems
zipperr.Not a zip archiverevzipOpenarchive

What i'm wrong ?
I use LC 5.02 xCode 4.2.1

Thank in advance for your help

Hi All,
I forgot to specify in my first post that the listZipContent message work well if i send it from a btn. I must wait "a moment".
I also tried With the same result:
zipperr.Not a zip archiverevzipOpenarchive
revZipEnumerateItems
zipperr.Not a zip archiverevzipOpenarchiv
Do someone have a way to solving this mistake ?

Thanks

Jean-Marc

Hi Jean-Marc,
Since noone else has replied I'll give it a shot.
One thing to make sure of is that your zip file is compressed using "normal". They have different levels with names like "maximum" and "ultra". I think only "normal" is supported.

Hi Jean-Marc,

There's a good chance that your problem is solved if you write
and probably you don't need to wait a full second. 200 millisecs should be enough.

Kind regards,

Hi Mark
One big progress with your help
I always have the same error but it don't stop the script like before. I'll do a simplified stack to catch the lizard's head
Kind regards

Hi Jean-Marc,

What's the error and how was the script stopped before?

Mark

Hi Mark

It repeat this error message two times, then it bypass the next and work fine for revZipEnumerateItems and revZipExtractItemToFile with a custom progressbar.

zipper.Can't open file.No Such file or directoryrevZipOpenArchive
revZipEnumerateItems
zipperr.Not a zip archiverevzipOpenarchive

The mistake
An "answer dialog" which I use to signify to the user that the installation is ended makes mistake
If it is removed it, the script works fine like that:

1. listZipContents
2. revZipExtractItemToFile with a custom progressbar
3. delete file (myArchive.zip)
All files are copied where it is expected and the zip file is deleted

Kind regards

Hi All,
I read in the doc:
But a "Downloaded" message is sent before the end of the download.
In this case it is necessary to ignore the first "downloaded" message.

The stack in attachment download a zip archive (50 images, 1.4 Mo) in the document folder and delete it after an answer dialog.
You can see the result in the field "fSpy"

Best regards

Hi Jean-Marc,

I tested this and tried to find a solution that doesn't involve a hack. I can't find a reasonable solution and believe this problem should be reported as a bug.

Apparently, you could use the load URL command with a callback message. Perhaps this would be a good alternative.

Kind regards,

Mark

The first "downloaded" message is from your "testConnect" handler. The second one is from the file download. If there is a urlProgress handler, it will capture all download activity. If you comment out the testConnect handler, you will only see one "downloaded" message.

Remove the sNumdownloaded counter and watch the log field. You will see the server is contacted, a short download occurs (the test url connection) and completes ("downoaded" is logged,) and then the server is contacted a second time for the longer file download.

Hi Jacque and Mark,
Thanks
Fortunately, there is not a bug. Jacque is right, my "testconnect" handler send a "downloaded" message.
Kind regards
Jean-Marc
