XAR files: syntax error, unexpected end of file

[thekid]

$ XP_RT=7.4 xp -cp test.xar xp.unittest.Runner src/test/config/unittest/core.ini
Uncaught exception: ParseError (syntax error, unexpected end of file)

With PHP 7.3, no error occurs.

Wow, this fixes the problem:

-$r= include($this->classUri($class));
+$r= eval("?>".file_get_contents($this->classUri($class)));

Hrm, maybe some of the stream wrapper code might have been changed?

If I tee the read bytes from within the XAR file wrapper to standard output, this is how far the file is read... line 277.

This might be the indicator of what's going wrong:

$ ls -al Runner.php
-rw----r-- 1 Timm Timm 8192 Jul 28 12:50 Runner.php
#                      ^^^^
