error: archive contains more than 65535 entries

[lahngp]

When I apply the shadowJar task, then the "archive contains more than 65535 entries" was raised, I put this information here. Following is the detailed message:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':KanxxxxSystem:shadowJar'.

org.apache.tools.zip.Zip64RequiredException: archive contains more than 65535 entries.

To build this archive, please enable the zip64 extension.

Did you add the zip64 = true config to the shadowJar task as the error tells you to do?

Closing for no response

@johnrengelman I just tried to start using your plugin today. I have a multi-module project. I want all jars that are built to be uber jars. so in the top level build.gradle I put the recommended:
"
shadowJar {zip64=true}
"

when I run gradle shadowJar from the top-level project directory to build my project, I still get the same error: shadow.org.apache.tools.zip.Zip64RequiredException: archive contains more than 65535 entries.

Please advise.

Same error ... you never got a response I guess

[sirgl]

Well, I still got the same issue, probably the issue needs to be reopened

[davidghiurco]

Have you properly enabled zip64 for all your gradle modules? This hasn't been an issue for me in literally years.

my case

withType<Jar> {
    enabled = true
    isZip64 = true
    duplicatesStrategy = DuplicatesStrategy.EXCLUDE

    archiveFileName.set("$project.jar")

    from(
        configurations.compileClasspath.map { config ->
            config.map {
                if (it.isDirectory) {
                    it
                } else {
                    zipTree(it)
                }
            }
        }
    )
}
