Invalid or uninitialized Zip object

[BeckeBauer]

Describe the issue

After upgrading to 1.28.1, I got the following error when I tried to create an invoice

php.CRITICAL: Uncaught Error: Invalid or uninitialized Zip object {"exception":"[object] (ValueError(code: 0): Invalid or uninitialized Zip object at /kimai2/vendor/phpoffice/phpword/src/PhpWord/Shared/ZipArchive.php:115)"} []
request.CRITICAL: Uncaught PHP Exception ValueError: "Invalid or uninitialized Zip object" at /kimai2/vendor/phpoffice/phpword/src/PhpWord/Shared/ZipArchive.php line 115 {"exception":"[object] (ValueError(code: 0): Invalid or uninitialized Zip object at /kimai2/vendor/phpoffice/phpword/src/PhpWord/Shared/ZipArchive.php:115)"} []

Does it happen in the demo as well?

[BeckeBauer]

That's a trick question - I have not tried it in the demo but I assume it works flawless... Therefore, problem most probably caused by my own server, so I am closing here...

[kevinpapst]

I am just asking that, because testing it takes time and result might be related to your custom invoice template, which I cannot test at all. So can you confirm it is working on the demo?

[BeckeBauer]

As said before, I have not checked the demo but I found the issue: very strange "misbehaviour" of my synology server: After I changed the content of my invoice-template.docx to check out the new ${invoice.first} ${invoice.last} variables, it was no longer listed in the invoice templates / invoice document as "Microsoft Word (docx)" but as a "Docx@SynoResource".

Could fix it by merely moving the changed invoice-template.docx out of my template folder and back in... so, no Kimai issue at all ... sorry for creating bug report before fully examine the issue on my side...

Thanks for the update!

Sounds weird, true. Glad it was rather easy to solve 👍
