approvals / approvals.net.excel Goto Github PK

Hi,

When Excel files are generated a timestamp is added internally. The visible content of the Excel file maybe exactly the same, but the internal timestamps will differ and cause it to fail.

The timestamps are located in docProps/core.xml, below is what the xml looks like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<cp:coreProperties xmlns:cp="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/package/2006/metadata/core-properties" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:dcmitype="http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/" xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
	<dc:creator>name of author</dc:creator>
	<cp:lastModifiedBy>name of author</cp:lastModifiedBy>
	<dcterms:created xsi:type="dcterms:W3CDTF">2017-02-14T14:27:40Z</dcterms:created>
	<dcterms:modified xsi:type="dcterms:W3CDTF">2017-02-14T14:28:21Z</dcterms:modified>
</cp:coreProperties>

Possible solutions:

1. Ignore the core.xml file
2. Open the core.xml, and ignore dcterms:created and dcterms:modified elements
3. ?? others ??

Hi there,

Are there any plans to merge this into ApprovalsTests.Net or to push this to nuget? I can't find it on nuget at the moment and this library would be perfect for us.

Will download it separately in the meantime. Thanks for the work on this.
