cannot create zip archive.

[makasim]

The doc says I can do this way:

<?php
$zippy = Zippy::load();
$zippy->create('archive.zip');

but this code throws an exception Unable to create archive from Zippy.php at line 63 and previous exception NotSupportedException: Can not create empty zip archive from ZipAdapter.php at line 51

Zippy does not require a content to create an archive, but some adapter do. I'm gonna update the doc.

Your exception is a NotSupportedException. It means the adapter you're using does not support empty zip archives.

Same issue for me, I'm working on mac. Do I need to install extra binaries ?
I tried different extension but the command appear to be wrong on this os.

Here is the error when I use "tar" :

Unable to execute the following command '/usr/bin/bsdtar' '--create' '-' '--files-from /dev/null' '> /Users/vince/work/web/ps/designerbox/modules/invoices/invoices.tar' {output: bsdtar: Option --files-from /dev/null is not supported Usage: List: bsdtar -tf Extract: bsdtar -xf Create: bsdtar -cf [filenames...] Help: bsdtar --help }

Hello @sdevilcry

It's not the same issue, you're creating a tar archive (this issue was about the zip adapter). Can you fill a new issue, providing the code snippet and exception name/message ?

Sure I can, but my first issue was the same as @makasim then I tried with tar and got a new issue.

Gonna create an issue for the tar.

Any idea about the "zip" ?
