Error "Can't read the data of 'the loaded zip file'" from docx patcher about docx

[mateobv07]

I got the same error, this worked for me:

patchDocument(fs.readFileSync("input.docx"), {
  outputType: "nodebuffer",
  patches: {
    test: {
      type: PatchType.PARAGRAPH,
      children: [new TextRun("test")],
    },
  },
}).then((doc) => {
  fs.writeFileSync("output.docx", doc);
});

The only problem is that patcher doesn't patch all the keys if the same key is multiple times in the same paragraph doing it this way. Then the fix to that is running it over the same file multiple time: #2267 (comment)

Same issue here !
Have some short example :

    const file = fs.readFileSync(__dirname+"/../../templates/document.docx")
    const doc = await patchDocument({
        outputType: "nodebuffer",
        data: file,
        patches: {
            version: {
                type: PatchType.PARAGRAPH,
                children: [new TextRun("V5555")],
            }
        }
    })
    fs.writeFileSync("C:\\PATH\\demo.docx",doc)

The error returned by Node :

*\node_modules\docx\build\index.cjs:16888
}(e3))), e3) : u.Promise.reject(new Error("Can't read the data of '" + r2 + "'. Is it in a supported JavaScript type (String, Blob, ArrayBuffer, etc) ?"));

Error: Can't read the data of 'the loaded zip file'. Is it in a supported JavaScript type (String, Blob, ArrayBuffer, etc) ?

Maybe there is another way of editing the docx ?
Like rewrite the Buffer before paking, reading the ByteArray and comparing it with a template to catch identical Bytes and replacing it with the content we are looking for.

But it would be very time consuming and a bit complicated tho :)

This worked for me too, replacing ALL occurences by using it in a non-promise way :

    const doc = await patchDocument(fs.readFileSync("example.docx"), {
        outputType: "nodebuffer",
        patches: {
            version: {
                type: PatchType.PARAGRAPH,
                children: [new TextRun("V5555")],
            },
        },
      });
    fs.writeFileSync("demo.docx",doc)

However it doesnt apply the correspondant style to the new text. (Not sure its part of the patchers usage)
