I have created a new version of my Joomla extension.
Manual upgrade via zip file or the directory works fine.
But the automatic upgrade (which used to work fine before), now gives an error 500 and the following error messages: "Unknown Archive type", "*Update path does not exist" and "Installation unexpectedly terminated: Update path does not exist".
I have no idea why those messages appear.
The update.xml references the correct zip files. Downloading it manually works just fine.
Joomla(/php/apache) has all rights on the folder containing the joomla installation.
After trying the automatic update, the tmp folder contains the downloaded zip archive with the latest extension version, interestingly without the .zip extension. Is the Joomla downloader not correctly naming the file and then failing upon finding that the file doesn't have a .zip extension?`Or what could it be?
Would be very thankful for any ideas...
Edit: My project is hosted on github, and github seems to automatically create a subfolder in the downloaded zip archive, named -.zip.
I'm using a link to the tagged github zip directly in my update.xml
I'm not sure if github always added this folder in the zip file, back when it still worked for me...
Might the Joomla problem have to do with the zip file containng such a folder, and not directly the extension stuff at root level? If so, anybody know if/how I can change github to not create that subfolder?
Right, just had a quick test of this.
I couldn't seem to find out how to automatically zip up a sub folder (there is a way but I need to do some more research/ask questions regarding this), however what you can do is the following:
Create a zip of your Repo
Open the zip, extract the folder you wish to be zipped then zip it
Create a new version and then drag your zip file into the upload box
Publish the release
Here is an example, have a look at the "Creating Releases" sections at the bottom:

Hope this helps
To answer my own question:
Yes, github seems to have recently changed their policy to create a root folder in the zip file, named as the repository the zip file is downloaded for (stupid, if you ask me, since the exact same information is encoded in the zip file name already anyway!).
Edit and Rewrite: It seems that either something changed in Joomla or that if you adhere to a naming convention - namely the root folder in the zip file having the exact extension name (or, I think and have to test, actually the same as the file name, without the version information), then the automatic update will work.
So as in my case, I have a Joomla package; the package is now in a repository pkg_mypkg. The zip file generated by github has the name pkg_mypkg-version.zip (e.g. pkg_myfancyext-1.0.9.zip), and contains a folder named pkg_mypkg. And inside the pkg_mypkg folder is a pkg_mypkg.xml file, the extension manifest. And this actually seems to be the configuration where automatic update works.

I'm git newbie and developing using Xcode.
As I mentioned in title, the file path shown different between IDE and working directory.
The file path that Xcode shows me is:
MyApp/FolderB/Model/DummyModel.swift
However, in the working directory shows me is:
MyApp/FolderA/Model/DummyModel.swift
The remote repository has the same file path as the working directory.
HISTORY
At first, I created FolderA, which included Model folder and DummyModel.swift.
Later, I created FolderB and moved the Model folder hear. And deleted FolderA. I think I modified DummyModel.swift after moved it, but I don't remember clearly.
Why did this problem occur?
What should I study to understand this problem?
I have a google cloud function that is a subdirectory in a repository. It uses the "Directory with source code" option in the settings menu. I keep getting this error on deploy:
Deployment failure:
Build failed: go: parsing /utils/pubsub/go.mod: open /utils/pubsub/go.mod: no such file or directory
go: error loading module requirements
I'm assuming that GCF does not upload the entire directory to the instance, but instead only the folder? This breaks the replace functionality of Go modules. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Link to the repo: https://github.com/FreekingDean/jeffbotgo/tree/5d735cc/slackevent
I work at Google and on this product.
Only the directory where you run gcloud is uploaded. There is no staging step beyond zipping the current directory and uploading it.
Notably, modules are preferred by the builder over vendor. If there is a go.mod, modules will be used. When you upload your function, it only includes the directory with your function at the root, not any directories one level up. So, when there is a go.mod and you have a replace directive pointing one level up, it will not work.
The solution for now with this layout is to vendor and not upload the go.mod/go.sum files. When using gcloud, you can create a .gcloudignore file to do this for you. See https://cloud.google.com/functions/docs/concepts/go-runtime#specifying_dependencies for more detail. Alternatively, modify your project to include any necessary helper packages in subdirectories.
I had the same issue today.
When reading thru the documentation for the 8th time i came across a warning box bellow the "Vendor directory" headline.
Warning: If your project has both a go.mod file and a vendor directory
at the root of your project, the vendor directory will be ignored
during deployment. You must use a .gcloudignore file to ignore the
go.mod file in order to ensure that your vendor directory is used
during deployment.
So basically once i added a .gcloudignore file with go.mod (will add go.sum as well) everything worked. So i guess if you have a go.mod file the cloud function will try to fetch dependencies instead of using the ones uploaded in the vendor folder.
I'm just guessing here tough.
I want to access to a directory of an xcode project that contains cocoapods (firebase framework) in my Desktop! But I keep getting: No such file or directory!
I tried to access to another non-project folder and it worked.
It also worked when I tried to access to a project folder that does not contain cocoapods!
I don't know why I could not access to any project folder that contains cocoapods!
When I list the contents of the desktop I got:
There is an # in the properties
What does that means and how can I access to the folder?
I just want to upload it to the Github? any solutions?
BusinessWallet is probably a framework bundle, which means that it is actually just one file, but appears as a directory in Finder. You can copy individual files out of it in Finder.
If you need programmatic access to contents inside the bundle, take a look here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/CoreFoundation/Conceptual/CFBundles/AccessingaBundlesContents/AccessingaBundlesContents.html
I am doing what it says on the forum but can't figure out where is the problem. I downloaded the .zip and extracted it. There was 4 folders (Contrib,Docs,Plugins,Unicode) aside from Docs where do I put the rest ? From AccessControl/Plugins I put the .dll to my NSIS/Plugins folder where are the other .dll files. But the other two folders diden't contained any .nsh or .nsi file to put in NSIS/Include. Where is the problem ? I am using HM NIS Edit and when I try to compile it says Invalid Command.
I tried this code and it compiles but I dont think it does something.. or maybe I am using the wrong command. I need to give to my config folder read,write permission thats in the INSTDIR. I tried it with INSTDIR\config and INSTDIR. But nothing works at the moment. Maybe the plugin isent included.
System::Call 'AccesControl.dll::GrantOnFile (t ."$INSTDIR",t .""(S-1-5-32-545)",t ."FullAccess")'
Was going to add a comment to the above answer, but system wouldn't let me. A clarification as for NSIS 3.0+ the default folder locations didn't work. To fix it I copied the files to:
AccessControl.zip\Plugins\AccessControl.dll --> NSIS\Plugins\x86-ansi
AccessControl.zip\Unicode\Plugins\AccessControl.dll --> NSIS\Plugins\x86-unicode
You can unzip the plugin zip at the root of the NSIS directory, or at least, you need to put the plugin dll into the NSIS plugins directory (or to any directory you want if you include it with !addplugindir)
The core of the plugin is in the dll file in Plugins directory (the unicode/plugins contains the unicode version of the plugin suitable for the unicode flavor of NSIS 3.0+)
the Docs directory contains the plugin documentation
the Contrib directory contains the plugin source code useful if you want to modify the plugin and rebuild it. It is not needed in normal nsis usage.
The correct way to call an nsis plugin is not via the system plugin: you need to call directly the plugin methods from the nsis script, as illustrated in the plugin page :
# Make the directory "$INSTDIR\database" read write accessible by all users
AccessControl::GrantOnFile "$INSTDIR\database" "(BU)" "GenericRead + GenericWrite"
or from some code of mine
AccessControl::GrantOnFile `${somePath}` `(S-1-5-32-545)` `${someAccess}` ;(S-1-5-32-545) is local users GUID
I have a scorm package that works in Moodle. However, if unzip it to a folder and then rezip it and try to use it I get the following in Moodle:
"Incorrect file package - missing imsmanifest.xml or AICC structure"
Note, I'm doing this because I was trying to debug it and drilled down to this simple test:
Start with working scorm .zip package "TestCourse.zip"
On mac os x, I double click to extract it to the current folder.
I cmd click on it and selected decompress which makes "TestCourse2.zip"
I try to use "TestCourse2.zip" on Moodle as a scorm package and get the error above.
I tried using a different program to re-zip the folder and got the same results.
What am I missing here?
It's because you rezip the folder itself. You shouldn't do this. You should go into the folder root and then rezip all the contents to generate a new valid package.
imsmanifest.xml must be in the root of the zip file, not inside any folder (and do not change structure in any other way because the imsmanifest have dependencies with the other files).
