Description

After downloading a zip file from web, while trying to unzip it, the tool cache's extractZip works perfectly fine in Windows, but not in Linux OS. Below is the error:

/usr/bin/unzip -o -q file.zip
unzip:  cannot find or open file.zip, file.zip.zip or file.zip.ZIP.
/workspaces/project/node_modules/@actions/exec/lib/toolrunner.js:592
                error = new Error(`The process '${this.toolPath}' failed with exit code ${this.processExitCode}`);
                        ^

Error: The process '/usr/bin/unzip' failed with exit code 9

Examining the above command which ran, /usr/bin/unzip -o -q file.zip; I tried to manually run /usr/bin/unzip -o -q file.zip -d destinationFolder and although got some error too, but at least the zip file was unzipped to the designated destination folder. Below is the error:

/usr/bin/unzip -o -q file.zip -d destinationFolder
warning:  home/runner/work/_temp/SymbolClient/0.2.241/symbol.app.buildtask.zip appears to use backslashes as path separators
/workspaces/action-publish-symbols/node_modules/@actions/exec/lib/toolrunner.js:592
                error = new Error(`The process '${this.toolPath}' failed with exit code ${this.processExitCode}`);
                        ^

Error: The process '/usr/bin/unzip' failed with exit code 1

In my code, I treated it as warning but moved on. However, if the tool cache's extractZip could work in this, that would be most preferred.

Research direction

Start at the tool cache's extractZip entry point and reproduce the Linux failure with /usr/bin/unzip -o -q file.zip. Compare the command and exit status with the Windows behavior, including the -d destinationFolder case and the backslash-path warning. Done means extracting the downloaded archive on Linux completes successfully without an unexpected failure.
