Running dart run rive_native:setup --platform windows (or android) fails on Windows with: [rive_native] Exception: Failed to unzip the file: Expand-Archive : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument #647
Description
Submission checklist
- I have confirmed the issue is present in the latest version of the
riveFlutter package - I have searched the documentation and forums and could not find an answer
- I have searched existing issues and this is not a duplicate
Description
Steps to Reproduce
- Add
rive_native: ^0.1.9topubspec.yaml - Run
flutter pub get - Run
dart run rive_native:setup --verbose --clean --platform android(or windows)
Environment
- OS: Windows 10/11
- rive_native version: 0.1.9
- Flutter version: [paste output of
flutter --version]
Workaround that worked
Replacing the _unzipFile method in bin/setup.dart with a pure Dart implementation using the archive package successfully unzips the files.
Expected behavior
Setup should download and extract binaries on Windows without PowerShell parsing errors (short paths like XXXXXX~1 seem to trigger it).
Additional info:
This affects both Android and Windows platform setup on Windows hosts.

does your user name has a space like "pc 123" or "Firstname secondName", then package is not a problem.
import latest rive package and run.
It worked for me, it might help you if you have space in user name.

Yes, that is the fix. But the code can be adjusted to not have to do this for windows users with spaces in the name.

Yep, this needs to be addressed.
It's not appropriate to change cache path, just because a random package refuses to to unzip due to a space in user name.
