RAR Extraction with Chinese/Japanese characters in password fails

[jtiiii]

It's spent 1hours on extracting.

That rar file's size has over 10GB. But I think not spent so much time.

Finally , I extract it by WINRAR 5.0。
The file owner said it use RAR5 format to compression.
I think is problem.

Keka supports RAR v5, so the problem must be other. Looking at the screenshot, I assume the progress bar maybe did not gave any actual progress? If it's so, there must be another problem.

Can you enable the console log, try again and let me know what it says in the Console.app?

defaults write com.aone.keka DevLog -bool true
defaults write com.aone.keka DevLogReader -bool true

By the way no need to wait, just launch the process with the console log enabled and there must be some output in the first seconds.

@jtiiii just did a test with a 10+GB parted v5 RAR file with no problem. So I'm sure there was another problem, maybe a file access one, that Keka did not handled properly and the process hang there. So will be interesting to see the console output if you can replicate this one.

@jtiiii just found that this version has two bugs, one that prevents RAR progress to be shown in the progress bar, and another that makes a bad password RAR extraction not being detected. So ignore all the previous messages. I suppose you mistyped the password and the task never needed. Sorry about that one.

@jtiiii can you check this version works with that file: https://t.keka.io/Keka.r3153-rar.7z

@aonez
I used this version you gave. Can output errors.
But it seem cannot support Chinese passwords.

(On the top used RAR4 format, and the other one used RAR5. They all use Chinese passwords.)

I made a RAR4 file for test:测试文件.zip(There are two rar-part files inside)
This password:测试文件
The WinRAR can extract it normally.

Thanks @jtiiii. It seems that also compression (ZIP) with this characters fail.

cannot support Chinese passwords

Will be fixed in 1.1.8.

@jtiiii can you confirm this new build works: https://t.keka.io/Keka.r3157-rar.7z

Here an example file with your provided password (测试文件) that fails in 1.1.6-1.1.7, but works with this new build: 测试文件.txt.rar.zip

Should be fixed in 1.1.8.
