Wait, so the first time it failed for you, you were pushing a .zip? Can you upload that exact .zip somewhere and link me to it? (A draft itch.io page works for me, just give me the URL once it's up)

Note: if you do upload the .zip to an itch.io page, use the regular web upload, not butler - I need the exact same file you used to reproduce the issue.

It does not work:

butler push Desktop/ProjectTetraAlpha.zip tetrastudios/test4butler:osx-universal

That is how the issue happens: I think it's a combination of a zip file and osx-universal.

Now I really want to take a look at that .zip file :)

Can you use web upload to put i on the test4butler page, so I can download it as-is and test pushing it myself? Thanks!

Hi! I have to use google drive, as the file is 2.44GB. The link is here:

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wHLGy4NNXg7lRpYyhtjbhTFfFWIUxyjc

(Anyone viewing this later, you can download my game here at: https://tetrastudios.itch.io/project-tetra)

Thanks for suggestions on my game page! I'll put them into the download info now.

Thanks a ton! I'm able to reproduce the issue just by extracting the zip:

I'm feeling extremely relieved because this means it's just a simple issue with the zip format, and not with the push command itself :)

After a day of investigation, I'm very convinced that this .zip file is invalid: there's details over at https://github.com/itchio/butler/issues/142

However, in the process, I discovered that butler was rejecting other files that are valid, so I fixed that :)

I've added the `butler auditzip file.zip` command to make it easier to investigate those cases in the future.

For now, I'm really curious though - what software produced this file? What was your exact process? Because it's not even just a "rare variant", it's just plain wrong :)

Also, here's what I recommend for the game:

Always push folders, not .zips
Push them to osx-universal and delete any other channels you've created when trying to work around that bug (so everyone gets delta updates)
If you encounter any problems pushing in the future, post here instead of creating another channel!

Hi!

Thanks for helping me!

I used UE4 4.18.3 for the game, and zipped the game files for use on PC. I kept using a usb to try and copy the game to other computers with butler installed to get it uploaded. I might have to do a test download in the future to avoid any of these problems.

Thanks again!

Using the Windows Send to => Compressed folder feature? (see this) or something like Winzip, WinRar, 7-zip ?
