Custom zip export failing to import on versions > 1.4.1

Problem/Motivation

We are exporting content from a "starterkit" site, expanding the zip and putting the exported files into a git repo. We then generate a zip of this repo to import with drush when creating a new site in order to set up "starter" content. We want to version the exports of this starterkit content eventually, which is why we are trying this method.

This works fine with 1.4.1, but on later versions, our generated zip will no longer import, with the error "Please check the structure of the zip file and ensure you do not have an extra parent directory." This is a zipball generated from Github, and when I unzip this and compare it to a freshly generated export using drush content:export, the files and structure contained in both are the same. I'm not sure what to look for in fixing this so would appreciate some guidance on what to look for. Thanks!

    Hi @vinmassaro,

    Do you have an example of the ZIP file?

    @abramm thanks for the quick reply. You can test the generated zip from this URL: https://github.com/yalesites-org/yalesites-starterkit/zipball/main

    There's an extra directory in your ZIP file:

    $ unzip -l ~/Downloads/yalesites-org-yalesites-starterkit-669a467.zip 
Archive:  /home/abram/Downloads/yalesites-org-yalesites-starterkit-669a467.zip

    The paths inside ZIP file should be just assets/2023-08/handsome-dan-ben-franklin.jpg, block_content-callout-b308554c-94f2-40d5-8b3c-5e97c0d05e08.yml etc and there shouldn't be extra parent directory.
    From what I'm seeing, the module was always expecting this structure.

    I'm going to close this issue as it's working as designed, feel free to reopen if you still think this is a bug.

    Expanding both zip files on MacOS was giving me the same result and I realize now is because it is opinionated in how it unzips files. I can see the difference now when using unzip at the command line. I will look at making sure we generate this zip file without the nested subdirectory. Thanks!
