Extracting the Xcode xip: Failed to extract final part of archive. #3

Open quacktacular opened 6 years ago

quacktacular commented 6 years ago

Trying to use this role to do remote Xcode installs for CI slaves.

It looks great! Except part way through extracting the xip I get this: fatal: [my-ci.tld]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Failed to extract final part of archive."}

The Xcode app is ususally ~309MB at this point. Any idea what might be going on? Look like something in library/extract_xip.py but I can't quite figure out what. Archive Utility is able to extract without trouble.

I noticed @nikr made a pull request to fix the error display--did you have any luck?

What version of Xcode are you trying to extract?

I've noticed that this and other implementations based on parse_pbzx doesn't work for Xcode 9 .xip files for some reason. I suspect that the format has changed, or they are using another feature that extract_xip.py doesn't support.

Ah yes I am trying to use Xcode 9! That's too bad.

At the risk of this becoming a bit off topic - I ended up manually extracting and recompressing the XCode.xip to a .xar and just extracting that on my target machines. Then the rest of this playbook works fine (with those modifications).

Yeah, this is, unfortunately, the case.

I've not been able to figure out a better solution to this. I'm going to leave this open in the hope that one day we'll come across something.

I published a different xcode role that works very similarly, but gets around the .xip extraction issue.
