For some reason when I try to upload the zip version made by a powershell script (using Compress-Archive), I get this info.json not found. If I then manually zip the files using 7zip, it works fine.
Just trying to use
Compress-Archive -Force -CompressionLevel Fastest -Path $ReleaseName -DestinationPath "$ReleaseName.zip"
Attached is the file it won't let me upload. As you can see the info.json is right where it is supposed to be, so I'm not sure what is triggering the error.
Info.json not found. (code: 500)

Re: Info.json not found. (code: 500)
The file names are corrupt, what looks like the toplevel directory isn't a directory, it's a 'WhistleStopFactories_0.0.2\' prefix on every path.
Re: Info.json not found. (code: 500)
I was thinking it might be some sort of corruption or different formatting that breaks the website. Clearly there must be something different about the zip that worked and the zip that doesn't that otherwise appear to hold the same content.
What are you using to view it in? Both in windows explorer and in 7zip the zip file looks fine and I'm seeing a normal WhistleStopFactories_0.0.2 as the top level directory. I guess I'm a little surprised that a tool at the core of windows would make such a strange formatting error... but I'm not seeing any errors as you're describing them. Any ideas on how to make powershell create a zip in a format that the mod portal will recognize?

Re: Info.json not found. (code: 500)
Sort of, but not really. It just appears to me that my zip uses windows style pathname separators while yours uses linux style path separators, so all that really tells me is that the one I created is retaining something about the system that created it.
You should also note that factorio loads the zip I posted just fine, so it does really seem like a bug in the mod portal to me. Though, IF the linux version of factorio can't load the mod I zipped, then it would make sense to reject it, since it would be a mod that can only be run on windows systems and that would be bad.
Can I ask you two more favors?

- Could you check if your linux factorio version can load the original zip I sent? If both windows and linux can load the mod I originally uploaded, I don't see any reason it should be rejected.
- Could you also do a "7z l" on this other zip that I've attached? This is the one I manually created in 7zip that the mod portal accepted. I'm interested to see if it also has windows style pathnames even though you're on a linux system.

Re: Info.json not found. (code: 500)
The one you made with a real tool looks right:
Factorio doesn't recognize your malformed zip as a mod:
7zip-created zip file
That's the wrong separator for the zip format. Just slinging strings at whatever filesystem api you might happen to have might happen to work, just as running stop signs and crossing streets without looking also might happen to work.my zip uses windows style pathname separators
Factorio doesn't recognize your malformed zip as a mod:

Re: Info.json not found. (code: 500)
Thanks quyxkh.
In case anyone stumbles upon this, my workaround was to just call 7z.exe in my deploy script instead of trying to use powershell's compress-archive. The options on compress-archive are pretty limited, so didn't really appear like that tool has the flexibility to fix this issue.
