extractcode failed on node-11.0.0.zip

Having trouble scanning Node. Using current version of scancode toolkit, here is the Scan log:

Extracting archives...
ERROR extracting: node-11.0.0.zip-extract/node-11.0.0/deps/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/node_modules/tar/test/cb-never-called-1.0.1.tgz: truncated gzip input
Extracting done.

@DennisClark Thank you for the report.

extraction fails on a test archive broken on purpose that npm devs use for testing. It will be never extractible by construction. The culprit file is in https://github.com/npm/node-tar/blob/34bdf6b6b89091a3b0b4a8409b9c944dcce36f3b/benchmarks/node_modules/tar/test/cb-never-called-1.0.1.tgz
This is something where having ways (e.g. facet definitions) to deal with test files would be great as well as possibly integrating extraction as part of the standard scan process
