Error: Invalid tar header. Maybe the tar is corrupted or it needs to be gunzipped? about tar-stream HOT 4 OPEN

Can you add a proper test with the tar that fails as a fixture, without the fetch and stream wrappers

from tar-stream.

I don't really know what's the issue so I can't develop a proper fixture for it, but here you go: https://gitea.nulo.in/Nulo/tar-stream (uploaded to a self-hosted repo because GitHub doesn't allow LFS in forks...)

from tar-stream.

I'm encountering a similar (but maybe completely different?) issue.

I'm using tar-stream with feross/buffer in React Native (and a tar file generated with tar-stream).

For me, val.subarray(offset, end).toString() in decodeOct is evaluating to a list of numbers instead of as ASCII (e.g. 48,48,48,54,52,52 instead of 000644).

Replacing that line with

return parseInt(Buffer.from(val).toString('utf-8', offset, end), 8)

and adding

const {Buffer} = require('buffer');

to the top of the file seems to fix the issue.

Edit: Upstream issue: feross/buffer#329

from tar-stream.

I ran into a similar problem as @personalizedrefrigerator and ended up submitting a PR for it: #164
