Morning,

I am moving an existing configuration from 8.3.2 to 9.3.0 and have encountered an issue with the 'Archive - extract' function. I am provided a file <filename>.tar.tgz which in v8.3.2 used the extract Tar+GZip function to unpack in a single step. This is no longer working in 9.3.0. Leaving the configuration as is does unpacks the first layer to a <filename>.tar, but does not continue unpack the .tar file as the previous version did.

A second 'Archive - extract Tar' step can be added to extract the .tar file, but was unnecessary previously.

I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour as the tgz is not a normal .gz, or if it is indeed a bug or something that no longer works.

I tried the inverse using 'Archive - Create Tar+GZip' on a series of files to create a bundle to test, and it failed as well. This causes me to lean towards an engine issue with this component. Changing the compression option to any of the others in the same step works as expected.

Anyone else having similar issues?

Thank you for the reply. I can confirm it is working as expected in the 9.6.0 release.
