ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The DateTimeOffset specified cannot be converted into a Zip file timestamp

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

• Publish ASP.Net Core 3.1 project to publish directory.
• ZIP Directory

Example code:

string publishPath = "./publishDir";
string buildOutput = "./Release";
Task("Build-Example")
    .Does(()=>
    {
        DotNetCorePublishSettings settings = new DotNetCorePublishSettings()
        {
            Configuration = configuration,
            NoDependencies = false,
            NoRestore = false,
            OutputDirectory = publishPath,
            MSBuildSettings = new DotNetCoreMSBuildSettings()
        };

        CleanDirectory(publishPath);
        DotNetCorePublish("../src/ExampleAspnetCore31.csproj", settings);

        Zip(publishPath, $"{buildOutput}/ExampleAspnetCore31.zip");
    })
    .Finally(() =>
    {  
        DeleteDirectory(publishPath, new DeleteDirectorySettings() 
        {
            Recursive = true,
            Force = true
        });
    });

Will do. Thanks for your help. I love the work you all do.

Thanks @Sobieck, please mention in issue which time zone is local for you.

@Sobieck wonder if it’s a time zone issue, could you please open an new issue with what Cake.exe --version outputs, which OS your running and what diagnostic output gives.
