zef install error about archive-simplezip

[pmqs]

Hmm, just kicked off the GitHub workflow to test with the latest Raku it has available (2024.05) and it ran fine -- see https://github.com/pmqs/Archive-SimpleZip/actions/runs/9522975460 for the results.

Also my Linux dev box is running an older version of Raku, namely 2023.08, and again it worked fine.

What OS are you running? and what version of Raku?

[hutou]

My OS is Linux

$ uname -a
Linux xps15al 6.9.3-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri, 31 May 2024 15:14:45 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

and Raku version is:

$ raku -v
Welcome to Rakudo™ v2024.05.
Implementing the Raku® Programming Language v6.d.
Built on MoarVM version 2024.05.

I also read this:

warning this module relies on unspec'd rakudo internals and can (and has and will) break without warning.

on https://github.com/LLFourn/p6-CompUnit-Util !!!

So I re-ran zef with the --force-test option:

$ zef install Archive::SimpleZip --force-test

Then I tried using the library on an existing zip file, but could not find how to display archive contents !
The following simple code does compile.

use v6;
use Archive::SimpleZip;

my $z = SimpleZip.new: "test.zip";
say $z.^methods

(I discovered Raku and its ecosystem only a few days ago!)

Good to hear you got it working and thanks for the note about CompUnit::Util.

Regarding using this module to read zip file, you are out of luck. This module can only write zip file.

Shout if you still want to use my module and are still having problems.
