[email protected]: a decompress error

[jfastnacht]

Looks like the extract_dir makes the installation of puppet-bolt (https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/blob/master/bucket/puppet-bolt.json) fail:

Installing 'puppet-bolt' (1.45.0) [64bit]

Checking hash of puppet-bolt-1.45.0-x64.msi ... ok.

When I remove extract_dir and adjust bin back to the full path it's working flawlessly. I could either remove the attribute and change back the bin directory or fix the problem with the file extraction, but right now I have no clue what the problem is.

The temporary folder created by scoop when installing is:

[...]\scoop\apps\puppet-bolt\1.45.0_tmp\SourceDir\Puppet Labs\Bolt

Right now it's configured to: "extract_dir": "Puppet Labs\\Bolt",

Any recommendations on how to fix it except for rolling back?

What does ~\scoop\apps\puppet-bolt\1.45.0\msi.log contain?

No issue with/without lessmsi.

Most probable cause

Windows Installer is attempting to install an app that is already installed on your PC.

Interesting, it seems that the path is too long:

=== Logging started: 14.01.2020 13:05:05 ===
Error 1304. Error writing to file: C:\Users\j.fastnacht\scoop\apps\puppet-bolt\1.45.0_tmp\SourceDir\Puppet Labs\Bolt\lib\ruby\gems\2.5.0\gems\puppet-6.11.0\spec\fixtures\unit\pops\loaders\loaders\dependent_modules_with_metadata\modules\user\lib\puppet\functions\user\ruby_calling_puppet_init.rb. Verify that you have access to that directory.
=== Logging stopped: 14.01.2020 13:05:59 ===

It's 261 characters, which exceeds the MAX_LENGTH by 1 and I guess that it results in the application not being able to create the file ruby_calling_puppet_init.rb in the sub-directory.

Edit: I'm running Scoop on Windows 8.1 Pro.

scoop checkup should get you info how to enable long path

The problem seems to be Windows 8.1, since LongPathsEnabled is, as far as I could figure out, available since Windows 10 (v160), not Win 8.1. I'm reopening this on https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop , since it's a problem with Scoop itself, not the Main bucket.

Edit: There's an open issue (ScoopInstaller/Scoop#2204) regarding this problem already.
