Thanks @mwbrooks. I can confirm the zip error message on remote build.

C:\myApp>phonegap remote build android
  phonegap  compressing the app...
     error  failed to create the zip file: C:\myApp\build\www.zip

C:\myApp>

I also get this zip error on a local run/build as well.

C:\myApp>phonegap run android
  phonegap  detecting Android SDK environment...
  phonegap  using the remote environment
  phonegap  compressing the app...
     error  failed to create the zip file: C:\myApp\build\www.zip

C:\myApp>

Two things to note...

1. I am running my command prompt as Admin
2. I do not have a "build" folder in my directory structure created by the CLI.
   • so C:\myApp\build\ <-- does not exist.

Not sure if the run process creates that folder for me......

[mwbrooks]

Awesome, I'm glad you're seeing the same error as me. The above commit should address that error message.

However, I am now seeing a new error. I am curious whether the new error is Windows 8 specific or happening on Windows 7. Would you mind testing it on your system?

The latest fix is available on npm as phonegap@2.9.0-0.12.5.

You can update to the latest version by running:

C:\>npm install -g phonegap

[red2678]

Dam you are quick!

Confirmed:

Also, just so you know, I now do not get the error on a local run:

C:\myApp>phonegap local run android
  phonegap  adding the Android platform...
     error  undefined

C:\myApp>

[mwbrooks]

Awesome, thanks for confirming that.

Alright, I guess I'm going to have to learn some Windows Script Host syntax 😣

That error undefined is a side-effect of another patch from today. The error message is suppose to be scrapped from the console output. However... since Windows pops up an alert box... there is no output to grab. I'll patch that with a default error of failed to create zip file: <path>.

[mwbrooks]

ping @bennmapes - any leads on what that error message is about? It looks like NameSpace() is not defined, but objShell is.

[mwbrooks]

Update:

@bennmapes I think I've figured out the WScript and fixed the thrown issue. I'll get you to review the code once it's reimplemented.

[bennmapes]

Awesome, sounds good.

[mwbrooks]

I've logged this issues as phonegap/node-phonegap-build#39

[mwbrooks]

Published on npm as phonegap@2.9.0-0.12.6

@red2678 would you mind giving it a try on your end? Thanks.

[red2678]

BOOM! @mwbrooks @bennmapes

You guys rock. I owe you both a beer (or a few). Hope to see you at PhoneGap day 2013!

Thanks,

~Anthony

I got a problem just like the above, in phonegap 3.0.0-0.14.0 on windows, i don't know wether there is some relationship?

it said that(I translate them from chinese )

node_modules\phonegap\node_modules\phonegap-build\res\windows\zip.js
line: 44
char: 1
error: system can not find the file
code: 80070002
source: (null)

[bennmapes]

O, the D: drive, I'm not sure how well node handles that. I have not tested on a drive other then C: so I'm not exactly sure where the issue lies here. If you have a C: drive try running it from there to see if it works.

[mwbrooks]

Hi @hick

What version of Windows are you running (e.g. Windows XP, 7, or 8)?

Michael

[hick]

@mwbrooks windows XP(5.1.2600).

I know some about javascript, and checked the code of zip.js at line 44 "var zipFolder = shell.NameSpace(zipPath),"

I did a hard code to change the zipPath to "www.zip", then I ran "phonegap run android", it generated the 'build/www.zip'(the size was only 1k, I thought it was not a valid zip file), and then disappeared after another html error came in the command-line as the picture

the picture above was the first time I ran "phonegap run android", and after that, however I ran it again, it said that

and no www.zip was generated.

[hick]

@bennmapes thx, Is it about the phonegap app, or the npm package that should be on the C: drive?
I moved the phonegap app to C: drive, and just like the same...

I will reinstall the npm package to try it again.

[hick]

I did it in a windows xp, installed the npm in C: drive, and create phonegap app in C: drive, reported a err like the picture.

translate chinese into english:

"C:\Document" has no file extension.

while, I tried it in windows 8.1, it worked well!

[mwbrooks]

Thanks for all the details @hick!

Since it works fine on your Windows 8 (and my Windows 7 and 8), I think this is an error related to Windows XP.

I currently don't have Windows XP installed on my system, but I can go ahead and install it to try and recreate your issue.

As some background, the zip.js is actually written in Windows Script Hostings, which looks a lot like JavaScript. Basically, Windows does not have a programmatic way for node.js to create zip files. So, we (@bennmapes) implemented our own using Windows Script Hosting. I imagine the scripting hosting engines are different on Windows XP, 7, and 8, so this is why we are seeing this error.

[sotra]

zip.js
line 59:
'wscript %s %s %s',
to:
'wscript "%s" %s %s',

[mwbrooks]

Thanks a bunch @sotra

I've updated node-phonegap-build with @sotra's suggestion.

I've published the fix as phonegap@3.0.0-0.14.1.

@hick would you mind updating to the latest version and see if it helps? I'll keep the issue open until I hear back.

[mwbrooks]

Closing this issue. Feel free to re-open if the issue persists on Windows XP.

[kolisko]

Hi, I have similar problem on Windows XP when building hello world

[hick]

so sorry for see it so late, I will check it late and feedback.

thanks a lot for @mwbrooks and @sotra

[jdnichollsc]

Alguien me puede ayudar? No entiendo el problema, no se que debo de hacer. Estoy empleando Windows 8, Gracias :)

[pedroflex]
