Archive does not contain a valid metadata.json file about kicad-libraries HOT 13 CLOSED

Hi,

Could you please confirm (unzipping) if the zip file contains the metadata.json? Can you send me the link that you are using to download the file?

It does have the metadata.json file in the archive, but KiCAD 7.05 (at least on the Mac) doesn't like it.

I'm using the releases link form the releases page...

Cheers :)

I think I have a way to reproduce this issue.

I had the same issue when downloading v2.0.1 using Safari on my MacBook which automatically unzips the folder after downloading. I re-zipped the folder and ran into the issue described in this thread when importing the library.

I then disabled "Open "safe" files after downloading" in Safari's preferences to prevent the zip files from automatically being extracted because I had a feeling that me re-zipping the files was causing an issue. This time v2.0.1 works flawlessly!

This explains the issue. The GitHub CI generates the ZIP file and contains the file hash inside the metadata.json file to make sure the file is not corrupted or something else. If you unzip and zip again, the hash will differ from the one inside the metadata.

This issue is not related to the library itself. Thank you @serant for describing it.
I'll close this issue in 24 hours if there is no more activity here.

I've tested right now on macOS Monterey (12.5) Apple M1 chip and it worked on KiCad 7.0.5.
I'll ask someone else with macOS to test it and see if we can identify the issue.

Anyway, I'll release a new version (2.0.1) with some fixes later today. Maybe you can try with the new zip file.
