When you need to zip up files in Ruby, use zipruby.
sudo gem install zipruby
You can add existing files, add files from strings and even add directories.
Example usage:
require 'zipruby'
cars = %w[audi bmw mercedes]
zipfile = Tempfile.new('my.zip', 'tmp')
Zip::Archive.open(zipfile.path, Zip::CREATE) do |zip|
zip.add_file '/tmp/me.txt'
zip.add_dir 'cars'
cars.each do |car|
zip.add_buffer "cars/#{car}.txt", "This #{car} is mine!"
end
end
Credits go to winebarrel for the Ruby bindings and to Baron & Klausner for libzip. More examples at the attached link.
