unable to run packaged .nw file: Cannot extract package Failed to unzip the package file.

[Patrick]

Hi all,

I'm just starting with node-webkit and running my project locally via nw.exe myprojectpath works fine but as soon as I try to zip the project up and run it via

nw.exe app.nw I get an error:

= Cannot extract package 

= Failed to unzip the package file.

I made sure that the package.json is at the root directory so that should be fine.

Is the info at https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit/wiki/How-to-package-and-distribute-your-apps still up to date?

Can I get more details on what went wrong?

Are there any known issues with packaging on Win8?

Thanks for your help.

cheers,

Patrick

make sure that your files are in the root of zip.

I triple checked that the package.json as well as the index.html is in the root directory.

May you share the app.nw file?

I would need to clean up a fair bit first. Just wanted to know if this is a known issue or if there's a way to get a more detailed error report.

FYI

I have found the cause of this. In my case it was a file which had a double dot in the file name so myfile..text for example. this causes the extractor to malfunction.

the name was a mistake so it's good that I found it.

@patrick :
check the package.json there should be app for name.
{
  "name": "app",
  "main": "index.html"
}

in sample app it is as below :

{
  "name": "nw-demo",
  "main": "index.html"

Step 1:  D:\node-webkit-v0.9.2-win-ia32 folder i created two files: index.html and package.json. I used 7z to compress it. 

Step 2: in CMD(window) you move pointer to node-webkit-v0.9.2-win-ia32 folder and run: nw app.nw

Have a good success!!!
