Forum: Ruby on Rails ruby zipping directory

Hello everyone,

I am trying zip files.

      save_path_file = "/home/name/dest/zip/test.zip"
       Zip::ZipFile.open(save_path_file, Zip::ZipFile::CREATE) { 
|zipfile|
        zipfile.add('test', "/home/my/file/destination/test.pdf")
       }

I want to Zip folder. Problem is If folder contain only one pdf, it just
zipping file. while i extract the zipped file its not coming with folder
while zipping folder contain one file.

How can i achive folder zipping even one files.


Please help

Thank You!

Did you try the docs at 
http://rubyzip.sourceforge.net/classes/Zip/ZipFile.html?
I have not used it but it looks as if the answer should be there.
Also googling for
zip::zipfile::create add folder
shows lots of good looking hits

Hi Colin,

I solved that. Just I make a directory and add files into that.
*
*
*here my code:*

      save_path_file = "/home/name/dest/zip/test.zip"
      folder_path = "/path/to_/folder_name"
       Zip::ZipFile.open(save_path_file, Zip::ZipFile::CREATE) { 
|zipfile|
          zipfile.mkdir("folder_name") unless 
File.exists?("#{folder_path}")
          zipfile.add('test', "/home/my/file/destination/test.pdf")
       }


Thank You!
