8227 :: zip error code

• FabienPRI (orginal) [2021-07-12T15:55:02+02:00] view original

  Hi,

  I am using zip/zipfiles as shown in the help:

  import zip/zipfiles
  # Opens a zip file for reading, writing or appending.
  var z: ZipArchive
    if not z.open(filename):
      echo "Opening zip failed"
      quit(1)
  
  # extracts all files from archive z to the destination directory.
  z.extractAll("files/td")
  Run

  I'd like to know if there is any way to get any detailled error information when the open fails. May be my zip file size is the cause, it takes 11 GB?

  according to zlib.nim proc uncompress raises some exceptions that you can catch with try-except.

  you can try Zippy: a dependency-free Nim implementation of deflate, gzip, zlib, zip if you experience unknown problems with zlib wrapper.
