Error pulling nodejs plugin v6.14.2-linux-x64.tar.gz
Metadata
Current evaluation
snapcraft 2.43.1 nodejs plugin crashes with zlib 'invalid block type' error while extracting a corrupted node-v6.14.2-linux-x64.tar.gz. 8 years old, zero comments, and the legacy nodejs plugin has since been removed from snapcraft.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: The issue is 8 years old with zero comments and no maintainer interaction, and it is no longer applicable: the traceback is from snapcraft 2.43.1 (Python 3.5 era) using the legacy nodejs plugin, which no longer exists in the current codebase (no snapcraft/plugins/ directory remains), and the underlying cause was a one-off corrupted tarball download rather than a persistent defect. The affected version is long out of support, so the original problem is not reproducible in current snapcraft.
