[SOLVED] zlib 1.2.10-1 and maven surefire jar files generation

I had to downgrade my version of zlib (1:1.2.10-1 => 1:1.2.8-7) to solve an issue with my java builds.

While using maven I was getting weird errors when running our test suites on all of our projects : the surefire jars (glorified zip files used in the java world) were all corrupted.

And sure enough while I could open the jar file as a zip file  (using file-roller), its content was not readable.

unzip surefirebooter5085610243570946377.jar
Archive:  surefirebooter5085610243570946377.jar
  inflating: /tmp/zlib_issue/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF   bad CRC ac495856  (should be 8e72222c)

I've tried different combos of java/maven/surefire versions all showing with the same issue

If I bypass the test I end up with valid jar files.

Downgrading zlib (after having downgraded minizip too, but without it making a difference) solved my issue but unless it's an issue within zlib I expect it to come back and haunt me.

Re: [SOLVED] zlib 1.2.10-1 and maven surefire jar files generation

Thank you for this, the same issue has been puzzling me this morning. Downgrading to 1.2.8-7 fixed the issue.

Upgrading again to 1.2.11-1 has resolved the issue.
