I have used the Hub's ZipExtractor transformer for a while, but just found out it does not take user parameters (published or private) as input. The literal values of "Source Zip File" and "Destination Root Folder" will work fine, but using user parameters for either of them will give error "Specified zip file or destination root folder is invalid." I am using FME Desktop 2019.2.1.

Ok, find the problem, look like a bug to me. The Source Zip File can not be an user parameter. If set it to be an attribute (equal to the user variable), it will work.
