How to suppress "Invalid date/time in zip entry" warning?

[bronson]

rubyzip inserts this error in the logs every time I open a kmz file. I have no control over the input files and I'm not sure I'd worry about an invalid date even if I did.

Is there any way to suppress this message?

It looks like it's generated by a puts call:

rubyzip/lib/zip/entry.rb

Line 557 in 3917ded

puts "Invalid date/time in zip entry"

Thanks!

👍 Same here.

@simonoff I think you can close this issue

For anyone visiting who still experiences this issue, the fix by @ShockwaveNN is to upgrade to Rubyzip 1.1.7 and add:

Zip.warn_invalid_date = false

We experienced this issue because we were stubbing the to_binary_dos_date and returning 0. However 0 is not a valid value that parse_binary_dos_format expects. You can calculate a valid number by following the method to_binary_dos_date. For example, for Dec 1, 2015, you would use 18305. Return a valid value and you won't get the warning messages.

the Zip.warn_invalid_date = false solution also works for zip-zip
